Chapter 247 The Bedroom Preaching

Yang Ling smiled and said, "I have already said that just now, "The poem you wrote is undoubtedly the best poem in the world."

Cheng Qiyun and Ma Lian'er laughed like a cover-up gourd. Tang Bohu just thought he was joking, and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous. Seeing that the famous talented man in this world was wild and unrestrained, he was not as unrestrained as described in later generations, Yang Ling smiled and said, "I'm just joking with Brother Bohu. Fortunately, I met a talented man in Jiangnan today. I'm really destined to be here. We are about to go down the mountain. Please go with Brother Bohu and let's go down the mountain and talk again."

Tang Bohu said happily: "Okay, please, sir."

The group arrived at the mountain gate, called Ma Lian'er to carry the sedan chair, and walked down the mountain under the support of plainclothes guards. The stone steps were traveling around the mountain, and the pedestrians who were incense were flowing endlessly, as well as vendors selling handicrafts and snacks.

Wu Hanchao was mixed in the crowd and looked around the world, and suddenly a subtle voice came into his ears. The voice mentioned the word "Master Master". Wu Hanchao was the man in the martial arts world and was most sensitive to this. He couldn't help but slow down and look in the sound. He saw a villager in a short robe accompanying a man in a brocade dress to hurry down the mountain, whispering: "Fifth Master Master, Hu Xiaoer is looking for you everywhere. Please go to preach tonight."

The man in brocade clothes tightened his samurai belt around his waist and frowned: "Grandma, I wanted to go to the city tonight, why didn't I say it earlier?"

The commoner smiled and said, "Fifth Master, the new wife and father are about to die of illness. This is not a good thing for the parents to get married when they are holding funerals. If they have passed Qiqi, they will have to be filial and not be able to get married, so they will be temporarily handled."

The two of them walked very quickly, so they rushed down. Although their voices were light, Wu Hanchao could hear clearly. He looked at the guards who protected the masters, and then tightened his feet and followed two steps. The man in brocade snorted and touched his stubble and asked, "Who is the new wife from? Are she beautiful?"

A villager in Buyi said: "It is the daughter of the old Li family at the mouth of the river in Niutou Village. She is as beautiful as a flower."

The man in brocade chuckled twice. The foot was a few steps faster.

Wu Hanchao's heart moved, and suddenly remembered some stories about the world that a lay uncle told, and he became suspicious. He pulled Xu Bantou, who was sent by Zhenjiang Prefect Xiao Hongzhu, to accompany him to visit the mountain, and pointed forward and said, "Hurry up and keep a eye on that person."

Xu Bantou looked up and said strangely: "The owner of the Ni Family Martial Arts Hall? Has this kid committed a crime?"

Wu Hanchao felt relieved when he heard this and said happily: "Do you recognize this person?"

Xu Bantou nodded and said, "I recognize this person, this person is still a little famous. He is the owner of a martial arts hall in the mountains. His surname is Ni and his name is Ke. His martial arts are also used."

Wu Hanchao was no longer anxious when he knew his identity. He smiled and said, "So that's it, there is no need to follow him. Let's go down the mountain and talk about it."

The group went down the mountain and found a elegant restaurant to order some lighter wine and dishes. Yang Ling and Tang Bohu had a chat, and then they understood his intention to go to the capital.

Yang Ling thought for a while and said, "This is easy to deal with. The court is about to open up sea trade, and at the same time, he joined forces with the Japanese navy to eliminate pirates. He will have a lot of interactions with each other in the future. He needs a well-known, knowledgeable and talented person to interact with the two countries as envoys.

Brother Tang is proficient in poetry, songs, calligraphy and painting. He is the most talented man in Jiangnan. The Japanese admire me the most about the culture of the Celestial Empire. If you come forward, you will definitely shock this group of guys. Haha, let alone you are proficient in Japanese language. It is the only candidate for instilling my Celestial Empire culture into the Japanese Kingdom. Looking back, I will submit a secret decree to the emperor, and I will give you a special decree to you and be granted a maritime official."

Tang Bohu said suspiciously: "When will the student learn Japanese language..." He saw Cheng Qiyun wink, and immediately understood, and laughed: "So. Students thank you. Since he went to Jiangnan, the student has turned back to Jiangnan to wait for him."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Okay. I must go to Jinling first. I cannot take Brother Tang with me. After the meal, I will write a letter. Brother Tang will go to Jiangnan and hand it over to the eunuch Gu Dayong, the eunuch in Jiangnan. Let him arrange it for you in the maritime yamen first, get familiar with the affairs, and when the emperor's decree is issued, I will officially award the official position."

After the banquet, Yang Ling compiled a letter and sent Tang Bohu a gift. Tang Bohu said goodbye and returned to Suhang. Yangling returned to Xingshi. It was already dusk. Cheng Qiyun accompanied Ma Lianer to the house first. When Wu Hanchao saw that there were no people in the hall, he immediately said, "Sir, today, I am on the mountain. I saw a pair of pedestrians passing by next to me, and was very suspicious."

Yang Ling said suspiciously: "What pedestrian? How is it suspicious?"

Wu Hanchao repeated the conversation between the two. Yang Ling had already heard the key point in his speech and pondered: "He is the master of the martial arts school. If he has disciples, it would not be surprising to call him Master Master, but how can he preach the word "Tao"?"

Wu Han praised: "What the Lord suspects is that since he says preaching, he should be a Taoist person. What kind of Tao did he preach when he gets married? When he was on the mountain, he heard a master talk about some secrets of the world. What the two people on the mountain said was vaguely consistent with the teachings of a cult."

Yang Ling's eyes narrowed and he asked, "What sect?"

Wu Hanchao said: "The Hongying Society. This sect is a branch of the White Lotus Sect and belongs to the Tang Sai'er lineage in Shandong. After Tang Sai'er was captured by the government but escaped from prison, she disappeared. She probably was scared and hid.

Her disciples and disciples of her lineage spread rumors that she was invincible in magical powers, invulnerable to swords and guns, and was invincible in water and fire. She went to and from heaven like she was in a state of no one. In this way, even under the severe attack of the court, they could still gather a group of foolish men and women to continue to cause trouble. Later, they could not stand firm in Shandong, so they gradually moved south, gradually becoming less noticeable."

Wu Hanchao said: "It is said that Hongying will not be divided into men, women, and young and old. As long as the incense is paid 200 yuan, even if the Hongyinghui disciples are a disciple, the poor people who join the society will put rice and tea on their behalf. When they are sick, they will have medicine and medical treatment. In winter, they will send clothes and quilts, so the poor are flocking to them, and they will teach their disciples every day."

Yang Ling sneered: "Hongying will help the poor, where does the money come from? He recruits a large number of people and teaches fists every day. No matter how you look at it, you can't tell that they are kind people. We will stay here tonight and check their details."

"Yes!" Wu Hanchao responded. At this moment, the prefect of Zhenjiang Su Hongzhu came to pay his respects on time. When Yang Ling saw him coming, he couldn't help but smile and said, "My Lord Xiao is here just right. I have an important matter to discuss with you."

Xiao Hongzhu was flattered and quickly smiled flatteringly: "You are polite, I have something to do. Just give me some instructions. The subordinates will respond to it."

Yang Ling said: "The Ni Family Martial Arts Hall in Jinshan Town is very likely to be a cult that is hiding here to rebel. I will go to find out what happened to you tonight. You are the prefect of Zhenjiang, so you must know this."

When Xiao Hongzhu heard that there was a cult under his rule, he was so scared that his face was pale when he was preaching under his command. He wiped the cold sweat from his head and said with a forced smile: "Xiaoguan...Xiaoguan only took office last winter. After spring, he was busy managing agriculture, sericulture and fishery, so he had not yet taken care of clarifying civil affairs..."

Seeing that he was so scared, Yang Ling hurriedly comforted him: "Don't blame yourself, Lord Xiao. Many villagers are ignorant. The cults are tricked by magic tricks and tricks. They are fooled and try their best to help the people in the cult hide. They are obviously under their noses. The government is ignorant, and the lord has just taken office. I am not blaming you."

Xiao Hongzhu said with gratitude: "Thank you for your understanding, I am grateful."

Yang Ling nodded and said, "Well. I will send someone to explore the details of the Ni family martial arts hall. If you really want to start, you will have to send someone to press the ground in your yamen."

Xiao Hongzhu agreed and agreed immediately. The three of them made up their minds. Wu Hanchao selected forty martial arts men from the inner factory and followed Xiao Hongzhu to the prefect's office.

Cheng Qiyun came out of the back hall and saw Wu Hanchao accompanying Xiao Magistrate. Yang Ling told her the story. Cheng Qiyun carefully considered it. With this preparation, it was already impeccable to arrest a few people from the cult who were not prepared, and there was no need to make up for it.

The prefect Xiao returned to the yamen and immediately asked the signing room to notify the Promoter Zhou to bring people to see him. The Promoter Zhou did not know what the important matters of the Prison Master was, so he immediately brought two inspectors. Eighty officials rushed to the Prefect's yamen.

Wu Hanchao found out that the Ni Family Martial Arts Hall had been open here for eight years. He was worried that there would be cult spies in the government, so he did not dare to tell them the truth. As for the powerful archers, although the suppression of attacking bandits was more powerful than the inspectors in the yamen, they had a closer relationship with local gentry and rich people, so Wu Hanchao refused to allow the convening of the prefect Xiao.

Wu Hanchao gave a close instruction to the characters he brought. Seeing that the time was almost over, he asked a knife to lead the way. He led ten people and quietly left the prefect's office.

Hu Xiaoer of Jinshan Town married a new wife today. The Ni Family Martial Arts Hall was separated by two streets. Wu Hanchao came quietly to see what the so-called preaching was. From their rituals, we should see if they belong to the cult. He had ordered other monks to take people to the military officers in another half an hour and block the street. As long as we start our actions here, both sides act at the same time to capture all suspicious people.

Hu Xiaoer's family is not wealthy. They have three houses in a private house. There are two apricot trees planted in the yard in front, and half an acre of vegetable garden behind them. They use stone and soil to build a half-person high wall. Wu Hanchao gave some confidants, and then climbed over the low wall in the night and quietly touched the house.

The bridal chamber had already made a fuss, and the people who drank the wedding banquet were almost gone. There were only a few close relatives and friends left in the yard to help clean up the dishes, chopsticks, tables and basins. Ni Ke's face turned red. He picked his teeth while squinting at Hu Xiaoer: "Are you ready?"

Hu Xiaoer is an 18-year-old young man. Hu Shi was busy and honest and smiled with a simple smile: "Fifth Master, the incense table, and the rooster are ready. I'm sorry for you today."

Ni Ke waved his hand and said slowly: "You are my disciples, well... preaching is the responsibility of my master, and there is nothing to thank for. Okay, go to bed, sacks, grass carp, you two, protect the Dharma for me, and both of you will be cheered up."

The sack and grass carp were his two personal disciples. Their faces were smooth and they were drunk. After listening to the master's instructions, they stood up and responded.

Hu Xiaoerdi's mother died early, and there was only her father in the family. The child seemed very honest and dull and could not say a few words. Hu Shi hurriedly pulled him, thanked his master, and returned to the small house on the left.

Ni Ke's mouth tilted. He threw away the wooden stick that was picking his teeth, got up and walked towards the room. The sack and grass carp chuckled, sat in the main room, and continued to drink the wine.

Hu Shi and his son entered the room, and soon they blew out the light and went to bed. It turned out that the Hongying Society was indeed the Hongying Society. The Hongying Society believed in the Supreme Lord and had a strict discipline. The disciples in the teachings must report to their masters when they were born, old, sick and died. When you get married, you must report to the masters. This master is not the master of the land in the Jianghu sect, but the exclusive title of the Hongying Society, which means the leader.

According to the teachings, when marrying a bride, the man must respectfully invite the Taoist ancestor to come and give blessings. This ancestor is a god and the mortal fetus cannot be seen naturally, so the master will be replaced by the master and ask the god to go to the god. The new wife must set up an incense table and kneel down to take the master into the new house. She will use the secret magic of immortals until the master Tianming will complete the casting of the spell. The bride will bow to the ground and send the master away.

During this process, the groom and relatives were remote. He was not allowed to spy on his own, otherwise the ancestor would cause disaster. There were two brothers in Xiaowangzhuang nearby. When his younger brother got married, he was curious because his sister-in-law had also been blessed by the ancestor, so he asked his sister-in-law privately. However, his sister-in-law just blushed and refused to tell him the blessing process.

The boy was really curious. At night, he secretly ran out of the window of the new house to peek at the master and watched the master cast the spell. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the master's disciple and scolded him. The next day he went out, he was killed for an quarrel with a passerby. It is said that this was offending the master, which caused a murder. Since then, no one dared to peek at the master when he casts spells.

After drinking two cups of grass carp, he was a little anxious to pee. He swayed to the back of the room. At this time, Wu Hanchao had already touched the window and heard footsteps vaguely. He immediately jumped up and gently tapped his toes on the brick wall in the air, turning up the eaves like a raccoon.

Today, there was a bright moon, and the faint silver light was shining. Wu Hanchao heard the boy under the back window sang an untuned song, and he untied his hands. He looked around and moved gently to the middle roof. He first untied the outer robe and covered his head, and then quietly opened a piece of tiles and looked inward through a gap.

I saw red hanging everywhere in the room, and there was joy. Half of the two red candles had been burned. A table of incense was placed against the wall. The owner of the martial arts hall called Ni Ke tied his waist with a red belt. He had already cut the rooster and dripped blood into the wine. He prayed for a while there for a while, and then grabbed a piece of yellow paper with a talisman and shook it in the air. The paper burned in his hand with a "sneer".

Ni Ke danced a few times and threw the paper talisman into the wine mixed with chicken blood. The new wife, who had already raised her veil next to her, couldn't help but scream in surprise when she saw this magical scene.

Although Wu Hanchao is not a Taoist priest, he is not unfamiliar with the Taoist magic tricks of igniting talismans. Seeing that the man was mysterious and magical, he couldn't help but smile.

Ni Ke held up the wine glass and said solemnly: "Hongying was born, Yuanzun was founded, Wusheng Lao Mother, her hometown is empty, she died in trouble, and she was saved by trouble, so she respectfully invites the ancestor to come to me." As she said that, her body shook, and then said majestic to the bride: "Drink the holy wine."

The bride was only sixteen years old. The woman in the village had a slightly dark complexion, but her eyebrows were curled and her mouth was cherry. She looked as beautiful as a watery flower. Seeing that her master seemed to be the ancestor, she didn't dare to refuse, but she hurriedly took the glass and drank the watery wine in one gulp.'

The water wine is Jiangnan rice wine. The wine is not very strong, but it only seeps with chicken blood and paper ash. Although it is holy wine, it doesn't taste very good. The girl from the Li family choked and her eyes suddenly became watery. When Ni Ke saw it, he felt very jealous. He smiled and said, "What is your real name?"

The girl from the Li family stuttered: "I returned to the fifth master, my family's surname is Li, and my real name is Xiaoyu."

Ni Ke said in harmony: "Xiaoyu, I have invited the ancestor to the upper body. I will blow off the light and go out of the loose clothes to lie down on the bed. I will cast a spell and bless you."

Li Xiaoyu was shocked, grabbed her collar tightly and said, "Fifth Master, do you still... want to turn off the lights and wear clothes?"

Ni Ke glared at him, "Bold, I am now in the Taoist Master Daojun, and the Hongying disciples are blessed like this. Why are you hesitating? You still don't obey orders?"

Li Xiaoyu was shocked. Thinking about the fact that there were several sisters in the village, who were the fifth master who gave blessings and cast spells, but they had never seen anything they said. I think the gods cast spells were like this. She didn't dare to disobey Ni Ke anymore, so she quickly blew out the candles, touched the bedside, took off her red coat, and climbed onto the bed shyly in her small clothes.

It was dark in the room. Wu Hanchao could no longer see the situation in the room, but at this time he had guessed a few points. He guessed that this charlatan was trying to trick the girl with the morality of the cult. The girl actually trusted him very much at this time and had no doubt at all, which made Wu Hanchao feel incredible.

Wu Hanchao was young and studied poetry and books. He was in Wudang for many years. He understood the literature and martial arts, black and white. He naturally could not imagine the superstition of the villagers and fools about gods and ghosts. You should know that even five hundred years later, there are often villagers who were deceived by some geniuses and unconsciously, let alone that era.

Ni Ke quickly took off his clothes and climbed onto the bed. When the girl touched her, she turned out to be naked. She couldn't help but be shocked and shouted: "Fifth Master. What are you...do you...don't touch me..."

Ni Ke smiled lewdly and said, "What are you afraid of? I have always been like this in this class for the casting of spells and blessings. All believers in this group are like this when they get married. Isn't it good now? This is the secret method of this group, and no one can tell you. Don't worry, I will teach you a way tomorrow so that your husband will not notice that you have lost your body."

Li Xiaoyu was shocked and scared, and at the same time she felt her limbs were soft and her eyelids became heavier, and even the struggle was weak. She didn't know that there was something mixed in the wine, but she still begged: "Fifth Master, let me go, how could there be...who could you do this kind of magic and blessing?"

Wu Hanchao secretly thanked: If it weren't for her own arrival tonight, the girl would have been deceived and raped, and the mute would suffer a loss. In order to make her innocent and fear of losing her husband, she did not dare to tell her, and invisibly she would cause more girls to be killed.

He wanted to see what tricks this charlatan had, but now it seems that the next trick is not a unique secret skill. He can use it if a man can use it. Wu Hanchao reached out and twisted it from the tile, estimating Ni Ke's voice and body shape, and bounced it with his fingers.

Li Xiaoyu believed in the ancestors, and at the same time, so many sisters had experienced this scene. Now there was no point saying it. This made her half-belly and half-doubted, and she did not call for help in time. Even if she wanted to scream again, her eyelids were heavy, and her limbs were soft and she couldn't shout out. Ni Ke was naked and was going to take off her underwear. Suddenly his butt hurt, he couldn't help but sigh, and turned around in horror and shouted: "Who is it?"

He was stunned after calling: How could there be someone in this room?"

Wu Hanchao smiled slightly, took out a money dart and bounced it out and shot it into the backyard. A long roar came out in the night. Ten monks and yamen outside the wall of the backyard shouted, pulled out their knife and rushed over the wall.

Wu Hanchao pulled the clothes covered on his head, and a ray of moonlight shot straight into the room. He paused his feet and slashed the roof tiles and fell down with a loud bang.

The dust was flying, and in the moonlight that was shooting down, Wu Hanchao laughed and said, "The seventh generation successor of Wudang Tongwei Xianshi came to meet you, the Great Immortal of Red Tassel."

Tongwei Xianshi was the title given to Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang by Emperor Yingzong, which was considered the level of the Earthly Immortal. When the next generation of Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty, he would be named Zhenjun and changed to a god in heaven and earth. When he saw Ni Ke pretending to be a god, he brought out the title of ancestor, and there was dust and mist, and it looked like an immortal descending to earth.

Ni Ke was shocked and jumped up naked from the bed, but he pretended to be a magician. The martial arts school's fist skills were not as bad as Wu Han's. If a person was naked, his kung fu was discounted by him again. He was kicked to the ground by Wu Hanchao in three punches and two kicks. The kick was kicked under the ribs, and two bones were broken, and the bones were pricked into the bones, which hurt so much that he could not stand up.

Wu Hanchao took out the fire slip and lit the candle. He walked to the bed with a smile and saw the girl Xiaoyu staring at him with tears in her eyes, but her body was already extremely moving.

The two rural gangsters in the sack and grass carp were drunk and drunk. When they heard a rumbling sound in the room, they thought that the master was giving blessings tonight and were laughing loudly, they saw more than a dozen big men holding fire fighting rushed into the room. Before they could understand what was going on, they had been pushed to the ground.

As soon as we took action, the streets immediately notified the man who surrounded the martial arts hall. Thirty masters from the inner factory and eighty inspectors and soldiers rushed in. The man in the martial arts hall had already fallen asleep, and there were no leaders. I don’t know what happened. Except for three or five who resisted and were mercilessly hacked to death by the inner factory, the rest were tied up.

The prefect's yamen received the accurate letter and knew that the martial arts hall was indeed the gate of the secret gang Hongying Society. Prefect Xiao immediately ordered the prefect's yamen to be dispatched, and ordered people to mobilize the people. Yang Ling assigned 500 officers and soldiers to assist and began to lock all the personnel in the city related to the Ni Family Martial Arts Hall.

Yang Ling and Cheng Qiyun were drinking tea in the hall. When they saw Wu Hanchao rushing back to tell the story, Yang Ling high-high said, "Okay! Since this man is the fifth master, he must have a big fish on him. Ask the prefect to ask for confessions as soon as possible, it is best to catch all the Hongying Club in one go!"

Wu Hanchao smiled and said, "Don't worry, the prefect's office is interrogating the Ni Family Martial Arts Hall. Once the relevant personnel are found, they are all called arresting and imprisonment."

Cheng Qiyun watched coldly and suddenly said, "Sir, there is one thing that Bei Zhi thinks should give orders immediately."

Yang Lingxi said: "What did you think of, tell me quickly!"

He knew that Cheng Qiyun had many wisdom and plans, which was beyond his reach. He thought that Cheng Qiyun had any clever plans, so he asked urgently.

Cheng Qiyun whispered: "Master Wu, can you ask Mr. Wu to work harder? The father and son of the Hu family, and the wife of the magistrate, and the official officers who asked about the case in the prefectures, Hongying will have many illegal things, so they can be used to punish the crime. If you can hide the secret of this bridal preaching secret, please hide it."

Yang Ling stood up with a whisper, feeling the heat on his body, and a layer of sweat broke out on his back. He immediately shouted: "Hanchao, come on a trip immediately. Hu Shi is in the family, and there are also officials in the government. Who dares to tell the secret of the preaching secret of the bridal chamber and punish them severely?"

Wu Hanchao then became alert, quickly agreed, rushed out of the door and turned over the horse, and ran away again.

Cheng Qiyun sighed quietly: "Hu Shizai's family was also taken into the government. As long as they are intimidated, the secret must not be spread, but the court will lack a reason to strictly attack the cult."

Yang Ling shook his head, he slowly got up, walked to Cheng Qiyun, bowed deeply to her, Cheng Qiyun panicked and said helplessly: "Sir, what are you doing?"
Chapter completed!
