Chapter 170 Chapter 166

"Stone man... Stone man..."

Zhang San ignored it and dug down hard.

He remembered very clearly that three days ago, he buried the stone man in this position with his own hands.

It was marked at the beginning, so it is impossible to remember it wrong!
However, the fingers are worn out, where is the stone man?
"Stop, I tell you to stop!"

The supervisor thought that Zhang San had lost his mind, so he took two steps forward cautiously, but he didn't dare to get too close.

Zhang San's eyes were red, and he murmured: "The stone man... the stone man has one eye, stirring up rebellion in the Yellow River!"

This time, the face of the supervisor in front of him turned green.

"It's reversed, it's reversed...Come here, catch the traitor!"

Among the crowd, seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang San's accomplices rushed forward and rushed towards the officials who rushed over.

"The imperial court is tyrannical and the officials are unkind. Let's fight together!"

"The one-eyed Mo Dao stone man provoked rebellion in the Yellow River. The stone man has already appeared, so what are we waiting for?"

"Prince and general, I would rather have a seed!"

In an instant, dozens of people from all directions rushed out of the crowd, chanting all kinds of slogans loudly, and the scene was about to get out of control.

These people have been lurking for at least a month, and they are busy spreading rumors everywhere every day, but to no avail. Today's stone man is undoubtedly their last chance.

There was a commotion in the crowd immediately, and the officials and supervisors at the scene felt like an enemy, because they were surrounded by the crowd, and in this situation, they couldn't escape at all.

However, the situation did not continue to deteriorate, and the common people were watching the scene more and more.

During the melee, Zhang San threw himself at a melon-eating crowd, grabbed his arm, and shouted: "I've been waiting for a long time, what are you waiting for, let's go together!"

However, the person caught by him pulled back his arm forcefully, with a look of disgust on his face.

Zhang San shouted: "If you don't make a move, when will you wait?"

"are you crazy!"

The man took two steps back, kept a distance from Zhang San, and continued to watch the excitement.

At this time, there was a loud noise outside, and everyone looked around, only to see a man dressed as a scholar riding a horse, followed by a group of officers and soldiers, rushing towards the embankment.

This person was Bei Lin, and Zhu Qizhen left him to check the accounts in Huai'an Mansion, but he seemed to be more interested in countering the rebellion, and rushed over immediately when he heard that there was movement here.

Zhang San looked at the indifferent people in front of him, and his heart was completely cold.

"You...rebel, what are you looking at!"

He yelled hysterically, but the next second...

"I bother!"

A mouthful of thick phlegm was breathed on his face, hot and sticky...

"Big guys have food every day, get money, and rebel. Is there something wrong with you?"

"That's right, my old man has never heard of such a good job at this age!"

"Whoever wants to rebel is really out of his mind."

Hearing the words of the people around him, Zhang San almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and roared: "Did you buy them for a little wage? You fools, fools...hahaha..."

Seeing him crying and laughing, the people around couldn't help but take a few steps back, fearing that his insanity would be contagious.

Belin rushed to the scene and immediately ordered people to control all the troublemakers, but there were still some stubborn ones still struggling.

"Don't think it's over if you catch us, Mo Dao stone man has one eye, now that the stone man comes out, this world has already..."

"You are blind!"

This person hadn't finished speaking when he was slapped on the head by a big monk from Belin.

"Return the stone man, open your dog eyes and see, where is the stone man?"

"Stone man, stone man..."

The man searched around, but didn't see the stone man, so he turned his eyes to Zhang San, with doubts written all over his face.

He was far away just now, and when he heard the movement from Zhang San, he thought the stone man was born, but where is it...

Bellin raised her hand and commanded: "Come here, tie up these rebellious thieves!"

Immediately afterwards, all the officers and soldiers rushed forward and tied up all the troublemakers.

"Ahem, listen up, everyone!"

Bellin cleared her throat and said loudly: "These people are all traitors of the White Lotus Sect! Three months ago, the assassins of the White Lotus Sect went to the capital to assassinate the emperor, but they failed. They used their resources to build the embankment, so they came here to sabotage it deliberately, because they didn’t want to see the court repair the embankment smoothly. After the embankment was repaired and everyone lived a good life, who would they turn to for rebellion?”

Hearing this, everyone began to discuss. They thought it was a group of psychopaths who had nothing to do when they were full, but they didn't expect that they were so deliberate.

Most of the people who came to repair the embankment came from the local area.

The Yellow River burst its embankment, and their farmland was flooded, causing heavy losses. If the imperial court did not recruit workers on a large scale, many people would have starved to death.

When they learned that these people had turned their minds on the river embankment, they immediately became angry and cursed.

Some people even couldn't hold back, rushed forward, punched and kicked Zhang San and others.

"My mother-in-law and baby were drowned, and now the imperial court is giving money to repair the embankment, you people who kill thousands of knives, you still want to make troubles, right? I'll let you do it, let you do it!"

"Calm down, calm down, brother, please calm down!"

Belin hurriedly pulled the people away. His task was to prevent the people from being incited. Looking at the indignation of the crowd, he thought to himself, don't cause any more trouble because of what he said...

"I understand everyone's feelings very well. I must wish to kill these rebels with my own hands. However, the imperial court has the imperial court's laws. They are treasonous crimes, and they will never be lightly forgiven. Now I want to say another thing! "

Only then did everyone quiet down, looking at Belin one after another, waiting for him to continue.

"These rebels of the White Lotus Sect have been lurking for a long time to stir up trouble. According to reliable information, there are far more than these people, and the rest are hiding around everyone. Just imagine, do people often spread various rumors on weekdays?"

After Belin finished speaking, everyone started talking.

"When you said that, I really remembered that there was a man named Wang who came here every now and then, saying that the officials were embezzling food and oppressing the people. Could it be that he is also a traitor of the White Lotus Sect?"

"Yeah, we also have a very suspicious person here. Everyone discusses Cuju, but he said some inexplicable things every day. At that time, everyone thought it was strange. Now that I think about it, this person must be a traitor."

"I've also seen..."

Seeing how excited everyone was talking about each other, Belin smiled with satisfaction.

"My official announces that anyone who captures the White Lotus Sect rebel will be rewarded with five taels of silver. If he can provide reliable clues and assist the officials to successfully capture them, he will be rewarded with two taels of silver!"

hum!
As soon as this remark came out, the crowd immediately exploded.

Catch a rebel five taels, and provide clues are also two taels, this is money!

Ordinary people may not be able to earn two taels of silver throughout the year. It is conceivable how crazy the attraction of this reward is to everyone.

Immediately afterwards, the vigorous operation to catch the rebels began.

There was a green light in everyone's eyes, as if everyone looked like a traitor of the White Lotus Sect...

Belin returned to the camp and brought Zhang San and others to a temporary interrogation room.

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

Zhang San sneered and said, "If you want to get something out of us, go ahead and dream!"

Bellin was not annoyed, and ordered to bring another person in.

"Now let's play a game, the rules are very simple, choose one of the two."

Zhang San asked puzzledly, "Why choose one of the two?"

The corners of Bellin's mouth raised slightly, and she said, "That is to say, of the two of you, only one can survive. Listen clearly, there is only one!"

Zhang San's face changed, and he said: "Those who do great things, bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable. We are lucky enough to follow the holy leader, and we will have no regrets in this life!"

"Don't rush to shout, this is it..."

While talking, Belin took out a copper coin from her body and asked, "Front or reverse?"

"What... what?"

Zhang San didn't react, so Belin had to repeat: "I ask you, positive or negative?"

"Correct...perfect...or..."

Before he finished speaking, Belin threw the copper coin, pressed it on the table, and slowly moved his hand away.

"It's the opposite, you have no chance!"

Zhang San was stunned, what do you mean no chance?

Belin waved her hand behind her and said, "Pull it down, cut it off!"

"Yes!"

Two officers and soldiers came forward, grabbed Zhang San and walked out. Zhang San suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Why me?"

"Because you lost!"

"Why...don't let him guess?"

In desperation, Zhang San had no choice but to point the finger at his accomplices.

The man looked at Zhang San with a surprised face, and said, "Brother San, there is no need to do this, right?"

"fart!"

Zhang San said angrily: "Didn't he say that we can live alone, so why are you the one who survived?"

"I...how do I know!"

"No, you guess!"

"I... I'll just guess!"

Seeing this, Belin picked up the copper coin again and asked, "Front or reverse?"

The man was also unambiguous, and said bluntly: "Reverse!"

Beilen was not in a hurry to drive, but said: "You have to think about it, you have already driven it backwards once just now."

"I'm here to rebel today, of course I choose to rebel!"

"Very well, I respect you for being a man, and I will definitely give you a good time when you are on the road!"

After finishing speaking, Belin slowly took her palm away...

Zhang San's heart jumped into his throat, and he said silently, "Pure Land Bodhisattva bless you, when I get out alive, I will definitely make you a golden body!"

"Anyway, you won!"

Pfft!
Zhang Sanyi sat on the ground, muttering: "Why, why..."

Belin smiled and said, "You have nothing to say this time, come here, pull it down and cut it!"

"Don't, don't kill me, I said, I said everything!"

Zhang San suddenly changed his tough posture just now, and knelt on the ground trembling.

To do this kind of thing is of course determined to die, but when he heard that there is hope of survival, the defense line in his heart collapsed instantly.

However, no one listened to his begging for mercy. Two officers and soldiers walked out, one on the left and one on the right, holding him up.

"I'll say everything. The person who instructed us is Yang Xiong, the protector of the White Lotus Sect. He is in Huai'an. I can take you to arrest him!"

At this time, his accomplice couldn't bear it any longer, and cursed: "Lao Zhang, look at how promising you are, killing your head is nothing more than a scar the size of a bowl, why are you so cowardly?"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

"You take a step first, everyone will come later, and I will just accompany you on Huangquan Road!"

"Don't, don't kill me, I'll say anything..."

Zhang San howled heart-piercingly, only feeling being pressed to the ground, and then, behind him came the sound of a steel knife being unsheathed.

Then... rolled his eyes, and drew away...

When he woke up, he found that he was still in the interrogation room, his body was soaked with water, as if someone had just poured cold water on him.

so cold...

Suddenly, he realized that he could feel the cold, did he not die?
He reached out and touched his head and neck, still...

Immediately afterwards, a person came to him, it was Belin who had just interrogated him.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, thank you for your forgiveness!"

"Don't be too happy!"

Belin's face turned gloomy as soon as she changed her laughing appearance just now.

"You committed a serious crime of treason. This officer may give you a chance, but that doesn't mean he will let you go!"

"I... the little one can talk about everything, if you want to know anything, you can just ask!"

How could Zhang San not know that now he only hoped that the clues he provided were valuable and could alleviate some of his guilt.

"Tell me everything you know, but if there is a half-word false, you will never have another chance!"

"The little one understands, the little one never dares to lie!"

Zhang San swallowed his saliva, and began to tell the story back and forth.

After listening carefully, Bei Lin asked, "What is Yang Xiong's status in the White Lotus Sect?"

"He is the guardian of the law, and also the most proud student of the leader, the first candidate to succeed the leader."

"What does your leader look like?"

"Back to the adults, the little ones really don't know..."

"Ok?"

Bellin frowned, her expression extremely unkind.

Zhang San hurriedly explained: "My lord, calm down, I really haven't seen the leader, my teacher has a strict hierarchy, and young people like us can see Protector Yang at most."

Belin asked again: "How many of you are there?"

"There are 300 people in the Huai'an sub-helm. For the whole country..." Zhang San thought for a while and said, "There are more than 2 people."

Belin asked, "Only 2 people?"

Zhang San said truthfully: "The little one is talking about the brothers in the church, not including the ordinary church members, because the small one doesn't know how many church members there are."

"Where is your leader, you should know?"

"The little ones only know that they are in Nanjing, and no matter how many they are, they really don't know."

Bei Lin walked back and forth a few steps, and then said: "Take me to catch Yang Xiong immediately!"

"Yes, yes, the little one will lead the way for the adults!"

At that moment, Beilin counted five hundred soldiers and horses, and came to Lichun Court overnight.

At this time, the Lichun Courtyard is feasting and feasting, and is open for business.

The old bustard saw that the visitor was not friendly, so he asked with a smile: "My lord, why did you bring so many soldiers and horses when you came to drink flower wine?"

Belin was also polite, and with a wave of her hand, Zhang San was brought forward.

The old bustard's expression changed drastically, but he held back and said, "What is your lord's intention?"

"Still pretending to be garlic?"

Belin pushed her away and ordered: "Catch someone!"

"Hey, what are you doing, there are guests inside..."

Beilin led people to rush in and searched carefully, except for many men and women in scanty clothes, there was no sign of Yang Xiong at all.

It seems that this person heard the wind and ran away.

"Seal Lichun Courtyard and take everyone back!"
