In the first year of the Apocalypse, May 24th is the day for weddings and funerals, but it is forbidden to move or move.

Shandong Province, Yuncheng County, Xujiaji.

Xujiaji is a very small place in Shandong, and few people in the entire Shandong Province know it. However, Yuncheng is a very famous place because of Song Jiang and Song Gongming.

Although Xujiaji is not a big place, the terrain is very dangerous. It is halfway up the mountain, with a river running up and down it. Whenever there is a flash flood during the rainy season, don’t even think about coming here. Although I don’t know why our ancestors built Zhuangzi here.

, but no one wants to move here. On both sides of the river, there is fertile land, which is why the people of Xujiaji are willing to stay here.

The population of Xujiaji is not large, with only a few dozen households and about a hundred people. Although it is located in a remote area, the villagers here live a very happy life. Everyone in the village has a piece of good land.

Of course, there is also land that is not available, and that is the family of Xu Fuji, the only outsider in the village, who lives at the east end of the village.

No one knows where Xu Fu’s family is from, but they only know that they moved here ten years ago and are distant relatives of Xu Tiejiang, the only blacksmith in the village. Because everyone’s surname is Xu, for the sake of old blacksmith Xu,

The origins of these people were not investigated.

Because the Xu Fu family is loyal and honest, and they get along harmoniously, but what puzzles the people in the village is that the Xu Fu family does not farm, but is very rich. It can be said that they are the richest family in the whole village, although everyone thinks

I know everything about the Xu family, but no one asks.

On this day, a group of people came down from the mountain in Xujiaji, about four or five people, each of whom was riding a horse. A few of them did not stop, and came to the door of Xu Fu's house with familiar faces.

The group of people immediately attracted the attention of the Xu family. There were very few people like this in the entire Xu family collection, but since the Xu Fu family moved here, there have always been people like this coming and going! The entire Xu family collection was guessing what Xu Fu was doing.

Yes, but Xu Fu only said that he was doing business outside, which did not make anyone suspicious.

Arriving at the door of Xu Fu's house, a man walked up and knocked on the door softly, saying softly: "Brother Xu, I'm here to see you!"

Not long after, there were footsteps inside, and along with the sound of the wooden door, the two wooden doors were opened a crack. A little head poked out, it was a child of eleven or twelve years old, his big eyes kept turning, it seemed

Quirky.

When the little boy saw the people outside, he immediately smiled and said: "Uncle Wang, you promised Qian'er last time that you would bring a gift to Qian'er. Have you brought it this time? If not, I won't let you in!"

"How could you forget Qian'er? This is the best candied fruit in the county, here it is for you!" The visitor seemed to like this child very much. He took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to the little boy!

"Uncle Wang is the best, come in!" After the little boy took the paper bag, he suddenly smiled and opened the door.

A group of people walked into Xu's house. They walked around at the end and looked around. When they saw no one, they closed the door. The few people didn't delay. They seemed to be very familiar with this place. They walked straight to the back of the yard without anyone guiding them.

in a small house.

Gently pushing the door open, several people walked in slowly. At this time, there was a person standing in the room, with his back to the door. This person's face was facing a Buddhist niche with a Buddha statue on it.

A Miller.

"You're here!" The person standing didn't look back or move, he just said in a calm tone.

Several people bowed respectfully to this man and said in unison: "I see you, Master!"

The man still had his hands behind his back and did not move. He just asked lightly: "How are things in Yuncheng? Are you still hunting for the leader of this sect?"

"Reporting to the sect master, Yuncheng seems to be calm, but there is an undercurrent surging. Yesterday, two more incense masters were arrested. I found our people in Jinyiwei and learned that someone came to Yuncheng."

The sect master saluted and the man said respectfully.

Nodding slowly, the sect leader still asked in a calm voice: "This sect leader has already guessed this, but I don't know who is coming this time? What is the purpose?"

The man pondered for a moment and then said respectfully: "Sect Master, our people in Jinyiwei are too low-level to contact the person from above, but he got orders from above to secretly investigate a man named Xu Hongru.

People, according to my subordinates, they are looking for the sect leader. Once they have clues, they will be rewarded with silver, and if they are caught, they can be promoted to the third level!"

Slowly turning around and looking at the few people standing below, Xu Hongru said helplessly: "This sect leader has already expected this, but we have been preparing for twenty years, and the reservation is for August.

There was an incident, but why are we being targeted by the Jin Yiwei now? Our confidentiality is very good. We have not made any mistakes for twenty years. How could something go wrong at this juncture? The leader of this sect has been thinking about it for a long time.

, but I don’t have the slightest clue. Hall Master Wang, you can be considered an old man in this sect and you have been by my side. I wonder what you think?"

"Master, what happened this time is very strange. It seems to me that there must be a mole among us, but this mole's level should not be high. We don't know much about what is going on in the sect. The court is also following the clues at this time.

, want to drag us all out!" Hall Master Wang pondered for a moment, then slowly said.

Xu Hongru nodded in agreement, and Xu Hongru also sighed softly, and said helplessly: "We planned to start the uprising in August, but now it is only May, and something like this happened. Our future is uncertain!

I don’t know how many people will be left in August.”

After hearing Xu Hongru's words, Hall Master Wang's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, he pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Master, my subordinate has something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

Smiling softly, Xu Hongru said with a solemn face: "Hallmaster Wang, you have been with me for so many years, and you can say that we are like brothers. There is nothing you can't say. No matter what you have to say, feel free to say it in the future!"

"Sect Master, although we were very cautious when we accepted our brothers and tested them many times, it does not mean that everyone is not afraid of death. Jin Yiwei's methods are cruel, and it will be difficult for our brothers to be released if they are caught. The ones who were caught this time

It’s just two incense masters. If one of them can’t survive and surrenders us all, I’m afraid we won’t be able to escape in time. So my subordinates begged the master to take his family and leave immediately, and then they raised the uprising flag and raised their arms!" Wang Tang said!

Advocate Xu Hongru's expression kept changing, but he still had to finish the sentence.

After listening to Hall Master Wang's words, Xu Hongru slowly fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said with a firm expression: "What Hall Master Wang said makes sense. Without further ado, we will leave here immediately and go to Tianzhu Mountain to gather the believers there.

and our people, and then carry the flag of rebellion!”

Xu Fu's family did not tell anyone, packed up their things and left Xujiaji quietly.

In Yuncheng, inside the Jinyiwei Yamen, the execution room in the back house.

Looking at the two people tied to the pillar, Xu Xianchun frowned slightly. It would have been a very happy thing to catch someone. But the bones of these two people were very hard, and they couldn't fight no matter how hard they were beaten. At this time, the execution room

The smell inside was very pungent, the smell of cooked meat mixed with the smell of blood, making people nauseous.

Covering his mouth with a handkerchief, Xu Xianchun frowned and said to the Jin Yiwei beside him: "Wake them up!"

When the two people were splashed with cold water and woke up, Xu Xianchun said calmly: "Both of you are strong-minded and good men! In this case, I will not humiliate you and give you a good time."

"Dog officer, you have to die! Sooner or later, you will die miserably, even worse than us!" A man tied to a pillar shouted loudly, his voice full of resentment, and his eyes looked at Xu Xianchun.

It's all hate.

Slowly walking up to this person, Xu Xianchun smiled calmly and said with a fierce light in his eyes: "I originally wanted to give you a pleasure, but since I don't want it, I won't force it."

"What are you going to do? You are such a bad official, you will definitely die without a burial place." Another person also looked at Xu Xianchun fiercely and said in a hoarse voice.

Although this man's tone was very strong, the trace of panic in his eyes gave him away. It turned out that these two people were not simple at all.

"What I like most in my life is people who curse me, because I will make them suffer worse than me. What I like to do most in my life is to help others. Since you want me to die worse than you,

The premise is that your death must be miserable enough, otherwise I won't be too miserable." Xu Xianchun changed the direction of the handkerchief and said calmly.

"Guan Gu, use whatever skills you have! If we give in, we will never be human again in the next life!" The man standing on the right side still raised his neck and said with a mocking look on his face.

Nodding slowly, Xu Xianchun sighed softly and said sincerely: "In that case, I believe your words are true." After saying that, Xu Xianchun slowly turned around and faced not far away.

The young man here waved.

Seeing the doctor carrying the medicine box on his back, the man then said sarcastically: "What do you want such a bad old man to do? What use can he be?"

"Laoshan, I really hope to see your ancestral craftsmanship again, and I hope you won't disappoint me!" Xu Xianchun said in a deep voice after giving a salute to Laoshan. Obviously, Xu Xianchun still respected Laoshan very much.

After giving a gift to Xu Xianchun, Laoshan said helplessly: "This craft has not been used for many years. It is really passed down from ancestors. I hope Master Xu will respect it!"

"Laoshan, I have known about your family since I was a child. I am really curious about this skill!" Xu Xianchun saluted Laoshan once and said in a more sincere voice.

"Sir Xu, when our ancestors executed Liu Jin, Liu Jin was already dead because he was missing seventeen blows. These 3,600 blows were indeed too difficult!" Laoshan had a wry smile on his face. He didn't expect that Xu Xianchun would actually do it.
