Chapter 201 Dust

A huge Henan mutiny was declared to end as the heads of several bandit leaders were rumored to the eight prefectures in Henan. Although a small number of bandits fled to Shaanxi and Hubei provinces, they were not in a state of chaos. In particular, most of these rebels were homesick in Henan, and they were eager to miss homesick and deserters were increasing. The other two provinces worked hard to suppress the bandits, and the bandits were defeated and beheaded one after another.

The contribution of this was naturally that Zheng Guobao had good plans, was well-organized, and made great contributions in one battle. When the rebels saw the imperial envoy, they were like a sheep meeting a tiger and were defeated at the touch. The rioters rebelled and all came to surrender themselves, not daring to resist stubbornly. People were carrying people in the flower sedan chair, so Yang Yikui naturally remained in a state of danger, defending the lonely city, raising military funds, and making outstanding achievements. Even the officials of the Yang clan were praised to varying degrees. After Gu Yuncheng arrived, those who actively approached him were found by Zheng Guobao, putting on a piece of paper, waiting for the court to make a decision.

The monks of the Eighteen Gates had heard that their son, grandson, and disciples who had been taken away by the government, and some people had thought that they might as well submit to the rebels. This time, they were completely disheartened and had to actively find ways to rescue them. However, the roads on the imperial envoy's headquarters were very difficult to walk. The soldiers guarding the gate were tightly controlled and they might not be able to see the imperial envoy. Even if they saw the imperial envoy, the imperial envoy gritted their teeth and refused to release them. However, the amount of the fine was indeed too large.

The arch masters couldn't sit still and went to visit their descendants in person. They saw that they were all beaten and cried and cried. The military sticks used by the government army were even more ruthless than those of the precepts. How could the monks afford it? What's even more terrifying is that some monks who really couldn't pay the money were taken on a cart by the government army and were said to be sent to the border.

I heard that since the Hetao area has been restored to the front and back traps, the enemy thieves from time to time. The place in the front is a deadly cave, and nine out of ten people can't come back. However, according to Zheng Guobao, it is the Shaolin monk who is very skilled in martial arts and voluntarily contributes to the country, goes to the border court to fight the enemy thieves, and shares the worries of the country. He is brave and loyal, but he can also take out the letters of request for battle, petition, etc. written by the monks.

The heads of the courtyard knew that under the influence of this military stick, they could ask for any letter of request for battle. If they didn't pay the money, their son might be really stuffed into a big cart and sent to the northwest to reclaim the land and fight against the Tatar soldiers. They had to raise money from all directions to redeem the people, and then asked Fang Zheng to talk to him on his behalf.

Master Fang Zheng was anxious about justice. He ignored his old age and weak, and did not care about his busy schedule of Buddhist affairs. He often ran between Shaolin and the imperial envoy to help the monks in the lower court to help solve their problems. Moreover, the master's face was indeed easy to use. Every time he came forward, he could give the ransom price a 70-20% discount, and he would never delay the payment. He would also give him a new set of clothes and a stew of pancakes and meat. The service was very thoughtful.

However, Fang Zheng and Zheng Guobao always set the ransom very surprisingly, and they were 70 to 20% off, not a small number. The stock price in the 18th door was limited, and they were quite unsuccessful. After hearing the news, Fang Zheng was not in a hurry, and instead comforted the heads of the court, "You don't have to worry. The imperial envoy is very humane. If you don't have money, just get the land deed. Or the contract of the shop is fine. Also, let the shop waive the money for the sesame oil you will give in the future, and pay the court's regular tax, and the ransom can be deducted."

Zuo Lengchan watched coldly, feeling secretly happy. After such trouble, these bald thieves were greatly damaged. In the future, the number one throne in Henan's martial arts world might be my turn. But before he was happy for two days, his mother sent someone to call him home and entered the house. Her mother cried and her eyes were red, "It's a big deal. My son is handling official business in Songshan. Yesterday, a group of officers and soldiers and monks took your nephew and my poor grandson."

After scraping enough oil and water on the monk, it was the Songshan Sect's turn to suffer. Especially when Master Fang Zheng talked with the head of the Eighteenth Gate, he revealed an important news. The reason why the imperial envoy was able to arrest people this time was entirely because he had an insider. This insider revealed the true identity and importance of these monks, and helped the imperial envoy formulate the amount of ransom to ensure that the amount was high enough, but it allowed the various sects to afford it so that they would not be able to take it out.

Although the imperial envoy did not say who is this inside line, he can also analyze it. The one who knows us best is our enemy. On the ground in Henan, who is our enemy? Who is the biggest beneficiary of Shaolin Temple that has suffered this catastrophe that has not been encountered in a thousand years?

After listening to the abbot's analysis, Master Fang Rong shouted angrily, "Zuo Lengchan, if the Buddha doesn't cut you into eighteen sections, I swear not to be a human being! Is it only if you know our situation that we don't understand the bullshit things about your Songshan Sect? We know exactly what the prodigal sons of your Zuo family have outside and what ugly things they have done. The Buddhas also know very well how much property your Zuo family has, please wait for me!"

Shaolin's counterattack was quick and powerful. The heads of the Eighteen Gates provided accurate information, so that the arrest operations of the government army were clearly targeted from the beginning. Those who were taken were all legitimate descendants of the Zuo family and the legitimate sons, eldest sons, beloved sons, and illegitimate sons of important figures. The last one didn't have to mind. In many cases, although the illegitimate son suffered losses in inheritance rights, they were more important than normal sons in the father's heart.

In order to prevent the Zuo family from violently resisting arrest, the masters of the Eighteen Sects participated in the arrest from beginning to end. Shaolin's dragon claw hand, tiger claw hand, Doroye finger, flower finger, iron mountain back, mad stick and other martial arts played a huge role. Often, before the officers and soldiers passed, the Shaolin monk rushed forward and beat the victim to Pig Head Three. When the officers and soldiers tied up people, they were a little hesitant, "It's already like this. After returning to the ground, we are embarrassed to beat military sticks again."

Zuo Lengchan didn't expect that there were so many unworthy children in his family, which was not much better than Shaolin Temple. As a big family, the Zuo family relied on clan-kind affection, so they couldn't ignore this matter. If he stayed out of this matter, how could this family maintain it? Without the help of the family, how could he continue to be re-elected in the next Songshan election?

Therefore, he had to learn from Fang Zheng, and traveled back and forth frequently, and pleaded with love. However, he did not have Fang Zheng's kickbacks, and the ransom price could not be cut. He knew that the imperial envoy's intention was not wine. He had to take out the grain used as reserve military rations, and handed over some of the land to the shop. Finally, the children of the tribe were saved and they would not be pulled to the border to serve the country and fight against the Tartars.

The only exception here is that the great Yin and Yang are happy. He is a member of the Songshan Taiping Group. He is always self-disciplined and has no small braids to catch. Where can those who are afraid come from? He never thought about hiding. As a result, he walked on the street and was knocked down by Ryanstein and a group of foreign soldiers, tied up the ropes and put them on the carriage. He was sent to the front condom with a group of monks who could not pay a fine to fight the Tartars to defend the Ming Dynasty. As for the charges, who cares?

The one who supports this matter most was Zuo Lengchan. Lian Lehou's travel route was sent to Zheng Guobao in advance. First, Lehou offended Zheng Guobao in Huashan, which was an obstacle to the friendship between Songshan and the uncle, and must be cleared and expressed his attitude. Second, the last time, three Taibaos were given a discount. By convening an ad hoc meeting in Songshan, the disciples of Songshan voted, and the two clans of the Zuo family and one Zuo Lengchan's godson were selected. This time, Lehou was dealt with, and the Zuo family could add another seat in the Taibao. From then on, Zuo Lengchan's status was further consolidated. What else could he not be satisfied with?

Yang Yikui was originally worried that after winning, he would have no rewards or the people would not be allowed to eat, and would trigger a new round of civil unrest. Unexpectedly, the two largest landlords in Henan were treated like grandsons by the imperial envoy and obediently paid the money and grain to admit defeat. When the other landlords and gentry saw him, they knew that if they did not understand the current affairs, the monk and the disciples of the Songshan Sect would come to their homes to arrest and fine them.
