Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but look at Xu Hongru a few more times and said with a smile: "The people in Dongchang said that you went to Yunnan and Guizhou, why are you back again?"
Xu Hongru¡¯s eyes twitched slightly. He really didn¡¯t expect that his every move was under surveillance. He was convinced that he lost this time!
"Sir, I have indeed gone to the Yunnan-Guizhou area. I wanted to set up an incense altar there and preach the Dharma, but who knew that not only was the place extremely poor, but the people also lived in clusters and even spoke with different pronunciations. It¡¯s really difficult to make a difference in a place like that, so I just wanted to come back and have a look!¡±
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "It turned out that I ran back because I couldn't bear the hardship, but what are you planning to do when you come back this time? Are you still thinking of rebelling?"
Xu Hongru smiled bitterly and said: "Now that the imperial court is sweeping across Liuhe and fighting against all the invincible enemies in the world, how can I have such thoughts? I just want to set up the incense altar secretly and collect some incense money to live off!"
Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt that these people were boring, so he stood up and said: "I thought it was some big case, but it turned out to be a bunch of deceitful thieves. Hand them over to Laizhou Mansion. Let's go and do whatever we need to do!"
Qiao Wangjin responded: "Yes!"
Xu Hongru originally thought that he was a big fish, but he didn't expect that people would ignore him so lightly. To be honest, Xu Hongru was still very hurt at the moment!
¡°And Xu Hongru knew very well that if he fell into the hands of the government as the incense master of the White Lotus Sect, he would definitely lose his head. But he is a person who is greedy for enjoyment. How could he admit it like this when facing this life and death situation?
"Sir, I know where the White Lotus Sect's incense altars are located in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. As long as I can spare my life and I promise to help you eradicate the White Lotus Sect from the world, it will be a great achievement. Don't you want to ignore the credit in front of you?" Xu Hongru shouted anxiously, not caring about the looks of the people around him!
"Xu Hongru, you are such a thief. You even betrayed your brothers in order to survive. If you die, you will definitely go to hell and suffer all kinds of torture!"
"My dear old mother, Maitreya came to this world to help me attain enlightenment, as urgent as a law or order!"
"I am not from the White Lotus Sect. Please have mercy, sir! Please have mercy!"
Xu Hongru¡¯s words seemed to open the floodgates of catharsis. Those who were tied up in the yard couldn¡¯t help crying!
Some of these people scolded Xu Hongru, some chanted spells and spells, and most of them desperately begged for mercy!
Zhu Youxiao turned to look at these people, shook his head and smiled and said: "A group of foolish men and women who dream of immortality. When it comes to life and death, I don't know how many of them can really give up their heads!"
Qiao Wangjin said with some lingering fear: "Don't underestimate them, boss. I remember that when I was a child, there was a riot in my hometown by the White Lotus Sect. At that time, I don't know how many people emptied their entire family wealth in order to pray for blessings. Some older girls and younger wives were also raped. People have been deceived to the point of ruining their health. Although their tricks cannot deceive anyone with a clear eye, if they really fall into their trap, it is difficult for even one out of ten people to escape!"
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Qiao Wangjin and suddenly had an idea in his mind. He walked back to Xu Hongru and asked, "Do you want to live?"
Xu Hongru lay on the ground and kept kowtowing: "I want to survive, please forgive me!"
Zhu Youxiao walked up to Xu Hongru and said, "If you were asked to teach people how to spread the teachings, I wonder how far you can teach them?"
Xu Hongru pondered for a moment and said: "To tell you what my lord, no matter what doctrines are spread, it is nothing more than doing two things well. One is to find helpers for the benefit, and the other is to talk to people and talk to ghosts. As long as these two things are done well If you let the villain teach it, you will be able to teach as many people as you want!"
"Oh!" Zhu Youxiao said curiously: "Tell me what's the mystery in this?"
Xu Hongru said quickly: "Your Excellency, you don't know something. Everyone in this world thinks they are smart, but in fact, no one can escape the word greed. The poor want to be rich and noble, it is greed, the rich want to live forever, it is the emperor who wants the Ming Dynasty to last forever." It¡¯s also greed¡¡±
"Shut up! Do you want to die if you dare to slander the current emperor?" Before Xu Hongru could finish speaking, Qiao Wangjin drew out his sword and shouted, scaring Xu Hongru so much that he almost lost his breath!
"I don't dare! I don't dare!" Xu Hongru then remembered that the person in front of him was a member of the imperial court. Speaking ill of the emperor in front of others, isn't that asking for death?
"What he said is not unreasonable, let him continue!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and dismissed Qiao Wangjin, smiled at Xu Hongru and said: "You continue!"
"I obey, villain!" Xu Hongru wipedWiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he didn't pay attention to Zhu Youxiao's tone, and just continued: "Because of the greed in this person's heart, if the villain wants to open an incense altar somewhere, he must first spend money to recruit a few subordinates, and so on People are greedy for profit, and they are willing to do anything if they have money. Knowing the background of some people here from these people's mouths, and then going to their homes to fool them with sweet words, those people will not know that their background has long been exposed. The villain knows that, and seeing that what the villain says is accurate, he will naturally be extremely convinced of the villain. When the villain tries to scare them with some tricks, those people will naturally obey him!"
Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said: "I thought you had some clever tricks, but it turns out it's still these deceptive things!"
Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was dissatisfied, Xu Hongru hurriedly said: "Sir, please don't underestimate these small tricks. As long as the villain establishes a foothold somewhere, he can set up an incense altar, recruit disciples and teach Dharma, and set up some senior brothers." , Second Senior Brother and other subordinates, and then let them coax others to burn incense and worship at the altar. As long as these senior brothers can recruit a few disciples, the villain will promote them as altar masters, and they will then recruit disciples. In this way, two, two, three will be born in a lifetime. Before long, there will be thousands of believers!¡±
When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he immediately understood that the way the White Lotus Sect was spread was through crooked ways and pyramid schemes. This method would be extremely effective in the era of information explosion in later generations, let alone in the current era of limited information and ignorance of the people. Got it!
"Since you are so powerful, why did you run away in the first place?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Hongru again and asked.
"Back then I had more than 100,000 followers under my command. I thought I could do something big, but who knew that the imperial court suddenly dismissed several princes from Shandong, leaving many of my followers with land in their hands?" , those people were originally very poor. If the younger one instigated them to rebel, they could still follow. But once they have land in their hands, even though they still worship the younger incense owner, the younger one really wants them to kill their heads. Things, I guess not many people are willing to follow, so I planned to go far away to Yunnan and Guizhou to pursue big things, but who knew that the Yunnan and Guizhou area It's really hard to describe!" Xu Hongru shook his head and sighed, obviously very shocked!
"Then you still want to rebel when you come back?" Zhu Youxiao asked with interest!
"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Xu Hongru kowtowed: "Since I returned to Shandong, I saw that the people were living and working in peace and contentment, so I knew that the rebellion would definitely not be possible, so I just planned to settle down and earn some incense money. , I just want to be a rich man, but I didn¡¯t expect that it would fall into the hands of adults just a few days after I came back!¡±
"Since you just want to be a rich man, why did you kidnap Qiu Mingyu's son?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked loudly, shocking Xu Hongru. Before he could speak, Zhu Youxiao used a threatening tone again. Said: "Don't tell me that it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of ??yours, not something planned in advance!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
