Chapter 85: Pervasive

Chen Mansion, Water Pavilion.

"In Bianliang City, there are signs of the revival of the White Lotus Sect."

Chen Shou muttered to himself as he looked at the news coming from his subordinates, his fingers gently tapping on the table, his eyes frowned out of the window.

This White Lotus Sect, rooted in the folk, is omnipresent and makes people unable to defend themselves.

Although they also invaded the palace and even controlled the prince, they were not as frightened as among the people.

In the imperial city and in the officialdom, they are shameless and a taboo. They will either succeed or be destroyed on the day they appear.

But the people are different. The people of Daqi are living in dire straits and powerful people are everywhere. This kind of court is the hotbed of the spread of the White Lotus Sect.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao shouted that the sky was dead, and he could destroy the Han Empire.

The Great Qi cannot be compared with the Han Dynasty at all. The White Lotus Sect is enough to kill the empire and bring endless variables.

"Zhang He!"

Zhang He, who was waiting outside the door, pushed the door in and asked, "Sir, what are the instructions?"

"Send additional personnel, the Southern Ya from the open, and the Northern Ya from the dark, to investigate the White Lotus Sect in Bianliang."

Zhang He retreated and was stopped by Chen Shou: "Wait a minute."

"grown ups?"

"To seize one, you must interrogate it strictly. Be sure to find out the contact person behind him. This thing is layered and they act so meticulously, and they must have their own hierarchy. What I want is to follow the clues, not to catch a two-person church."

Zhang He nodded, walked out quickly, walked down the water pavilion, and ordered the two personal soldiers to go to the Nanya and the Beishi to pass the orders separately.

On the banks of Jinshui Bridge in Bianliang, two middle-aged people were sitting opposite each other and drinking tea.

A team of men below escorted two prisoners by, and the people made way to hide. The arrests of the streets were common in the past few days.

These people may be their neighbors on weekdays and there is no sign of anything unusual, but after being arrested, everyone realized that they actually believed in the White Lotus Sect.

A cold snorted from the upper floor: "Chen Shou's hawks are really getting more and more."

The person who speaks looks sinister, but he is very neat with a beard and dresses, and he is dressed as a scholar. Unfortunately, he can't hide the harshness in his eyes, especially the faint scar from the corners of his eyes to the bridge of his nose, which makes him look a little terrifying.

The person opposite him had a fair face and a handsome appearance. He frowned slightly when he heard this, nodded, shook his head again, and sighed softly.

"Brother Liu, why are you hesitating? Enxiang was stabbed to death in Daqing Palace by him. Although Chen Shou claimed to the public that it was done by the prince Zhao Zhe, no one in the world knew that this was done by Chen Shou. The reason why no one exposed it was just because he was afraid of his power. Now he has the opportunity to kill him and avenge him, what else can hesitate about?"

The scholar named Liu was a little afraid, waved his hands repeatedly and whispered: "Liang Ji, whisper, you haven't been in Bianliang for a long time, how could you know how powerful it is? There are Chen Shou's spies everywhere in the city of Bianliang, and you were arrested after saying something casually. How many do you know?"

The people of Bianliang only knew that Chen Shou's spies were everywhere, but they didn't know that they were all purposeful. The old members of the Wei Party naturally followed closely. As for ordinary people who drank tea in the teahouse, no matter how many spies Chen Shou had, he would not be able to send someone to ask what they said. Not to mention whether it was useful or not, just screening out this information would be enough to exhaust people.

But the people don’t consider these things. What they like most is to add some legendary stories to the story of gods and ghosts. At least it is very eye-catching when it comes to bragging, and it seems that they know a lot. As the news came out, Chen Shou was full of the words of a thousand-mile-eyed look.

The scar-faced man named Liang Ji was obviously a little scared and his voice was lowered, but his tone was still showing off: "I am afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, and I am afraid of shrinking. What big thing can I do? You and I are disciples of Wei Xiang. If it weren't for him, how could I have the status today? After Wei Xiang's death, Liang Huai was completely in chaos. Some advocated to endure waiting, some advocated to fight back, and some local gentry even wanted to use Liang Huai as a stepping stone to incorporate into the Southern Tang Dynasty."

Liu Pei curled his lips and shook his head, "It's ridiculous. The Southern Tang Dynasty is in a corner and is distracted from playing with things. To put it as a saying that the Da Qi is now full of diseases, but the Southern Tang Dynasty is not as good as the Da Qi."

"Yes, so we are determined to cooperate with that person until the world is in chaos. It is the place where you and I can use our skills. It is just a by-pass to deal with Chen Shou."

He said as he showed an excited light in his eyes, which made his companions feel a little palpitations.

"I'll think about it again."

"Hey, let it be. If you figure it out, come and find me anytime."

"Where do you live?"

"This matter is absolutely not allowed to be mentioned, but you and I have a deep friendship, and they are all disciples of Wei Xiang, so it's okay to tell you." Liang Ji stood up, lay down in Liu Pei's ear through the table, and whispered: "The prince-in-law Wang Zhaolong Mansion."

Liu Pei glared at his eyes and said in surprise: "That guy is too..."

Liang Ji smiled proudly and said, "This is just the tip of the iceberg."

Liangzhou, Zuiyue Tower.

Since Chen Shou recovered the perfume sale, Zuiyuelou's income has been much less. Su Li was so angry that her teeth were itchy, but there was nothing she could do.

Now the little boys in Qinfeng Camp are supported by the General's Mansion, and no one in Liangzhou can do anything to them.

As usual, the yard was covered with lights, the hairpin and hairpin were intertwined, and the bells and swallows were shuttled through.

"Oh, my two masters are here to go, come and have fun again next day." Su Li, who was wrapped in Xiangshang, sent away a group of guests tremblingly, twisted his snake's waist and returned to his room.

Su Li's residence is far away from the girls in the hall, and the interior layout is also beautiful. There are tea bowls and bottles on both sides of the door. There are three-legged incense burners on the carved incense table on the side. Huanghuali's round table is equipped with four high-backed chairs with silver-red flower-spreading chairs. The Su embroidery fan screen stands under the agate-red gauze curtain inside, and a carved embroidery bed with peach-red curtain tent can be vaguely seen.

As soon as I came in, before I could sit down, a sharp look suddenly flashed across my eyes and I waved my hand to shoot a flying knife towards the bed.

"You are still alert." The voice on the bed was not anxious or slow. He should have easily avoided it. He lifted the curtain and came out with a man wearing a wooden white mask.

Su Li knelt down with her skirt, made seals on her chest with her hands, and a solemn face. She said respectfully: "Sir, please see the leader."

The mask on the man's face was as gloomy and weird as the White Lotus Sect Leader who committed suicide in Hedong.

He didn't let Su Li get up and said condescendingly: "Let you come to Liangzhou to develop. How many believers have you developed over the years?"

Su Li was afraid and shocked, and his tone was a little scared, and he said with a slight silence: "Master, the general's mansion has too strict control over Liangzhou, and it is also very popular with the people. Most men have experience in joining the army, and if they are not careful, they will be uprooted..."

"Okay, you don't have to say anything more."

Su Li was so scared that her legs trembled. The leader slowly walked to the window, looked at the two small buildings half-built in the backyard, and whispered: "Your Zuiyue Tower is much bigger. It seems that you can't develop believers, but you can make money."

"I am incompetent, please forgive me."

"Do you and Chen Shou have some friendship?"

Su Li quickly said: "I have had business cooperation, but he cheated a lot of money."

"It's a bit like a recognition. The above decided that if you are mediocre in Liangzhou, don't continue to stay here. Go to Bianliang, reopen Zuiyue Tower, and wait for the order."

"Subordinates obey the order."

Su Li rounded her buttocks upwards and lay on the ground. After waiting for a long time without any movement, she secretly raised her head and took a look, and then she realized that the leader had already left.

She stood up, stroked her chest and let out a long breath, her back was already wet.

After changing into clean clothes, Su Li came outside and gathered several officials from Zuiyue Tower.

"We're moving soon."

As soon as this said, there was an uproar. An old woman asked, "Mom, why do you want to go to Bianliang, so popular in Liangzhou?"

"You stay in Liangzhou and continue to do business here. I personally take people to Bianliang. The more money you make, the better it is."

When he heard that Zuiyue Tower, which could control Liangzhou, several managers were all thinking and looked at Su Li with a bright look.

"You bring the account and I'll take a look."

A manager respectfully took out an account book, Su Li flipped it out a few times, and she already knew it in her heart.

Over the years, all the money she earned was handed over to the Holy Church, but fortunately, she had not paid this month. In just one month, she earned 5,000 taels. It is said that Fengyue Tower is a gold-selling cave, which is indeed not bad at all.

Men who are usually quick to pay for a drink or two may have to bargain with the store, but they are all generous here. When they are praised by the girls, they can't find the north in a fog, and there are many people who have lost their money.

With this money, I brought a few popular girls and newcomers to rent a storefront in Bianliang and manage the government. It should be no problem.

"When will mom go?"

"tomorrow!"

Xue Shao, the red courtesan of Zuiyue Tower, lives on the second floor. The boudoir is very simple and luxurious. There are seven or eight antiques and jadeware on a purple shelf against the wall. There are dozens of delicate yellow Buddha hands in the blue and white plate on the side. There are also a lake curtain hanging on the bed with a golden thread on the east side.

On the dressing table on the west side is a gilded bronze mirror with mercury mixed tin, which is more than two feet tall, and is polished with smooth mercury and tin. The jade man in the mirror has just put down the ivory comb in his hand. Although he does not apply powder, he still has a beautiful and beautiful state.

"Miss, you are so beautiful!" Lian'er, a maid in a red silk shirt, praised sincerely.

"Damn girl, you're just sweet-mouthed." Xue Shao said with a smile.

She is the top player in Zuiyue Tower. She does not pick up customers in the building on weekdays, but is a regular visitor to the high-ranking officials and noble families in Liangzhou. She is known as the best singer and dance.

Such a person should have been the forbidden body of the most powerful people in the local area. Unfortunately, Li Wei and Li Xin are not good at women, and they will never bring brothel women into the door.

The old coach is like this, and the others dare not show off.

Su Li also waited for the day to comb it together, and made a lot of money, so she kept waiting for the price and did not take action.
