There was a grand banquet at Zuixian Tower in Jingzhou Prefecture today. I heard that the most famous wealthy businessman in the city entertained big shots from the Holy Lotus Sect.
Coming in, it often happened that wealthy businessmen entertained people from all walks of life, among which the Holy Lotus Sect was the most frequently entertained.
The world has been in chaos for too long, and the Tang Dynasty was established not long ago. Who knows whether this country will come and go like the previous dynasties?
The Yizhou rebellion gave people a sense of troubled times. In times of trouble, everyone is preparing a way out for their future.
This is why rich businessmen make friends with people in the world.
Some people say that if you encounter robbery at this time, it is more effective to call the Jianghu people instead of informing the government.
Among all the people in the world, the ones with the greatest reputation are naturally from the Holy Lotus Sect.
Today's wealthy businessmen invited the Holy Lotus Sect to a banquet, and even attracted a group of idle people to join in the banquet.
At noon, there were dozens of people at tables inside the restaurant, and the scene was very lively.
It's just that it's supposed to be the time for the banquet to start, but the invited guests haven't arrived yet.
The owner asked around, wondering if it was because the people of the Holy Lotus Sect didn't show respect and temporarily let go.
People who were already present were also talking to each other, wondering what the problem was.
At this time, a man suddenly appeared at the door of the restaurant. He was strong, wearing a mask, and holding a sharp knife in his hand. He was silent, but it put invisible pressure on people.
Everyone looked at the man with the knife, who silently took out a notice and posted it on the door, and then said to everyone present: "The rebels of the Holy Lotus Sect are rampant in Jingzhou Prefecture. The Emperor has ordered them to be eradicated, and the Secret Zhao Division has been ordered to arrest them.
The Holy Lotus Sect is rebelling against the traitor. If you are interested, report it to the Prefect’s Mansion as soon as possible. If anyone is found to have deliberately concealed and concealed it, he will be punished with the same crime as the traitor!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.
Publicly arrest the Holy Lotus Sect!
This was the first time the imperial court expressed its stance after the Yizhou rebellion.
If everyone did not doubt the man holding the sword, they had a vague feeling that the imperial court was going to take action against the Holy Lotus Sect.
It's just that in Jingzhou, it's not a place where the emperor can cover up the sky with one hand. This is the Jianghu, the base of the Jianghu people. The court's arrests are blatantly on the basis of the Jianghu people. This is too disrespectful to the Jianghu people.
Some people quickly showed disdain and concluded that the imperial court could not cause too much trouble in Jingzhou.
It offended people in the world, and there was no guarantee that these imperial eagle dogs would be slaughtered wherever they went.
And besides Long Shanshan, who else could be this knife-wielding man?
After he posted the notice, there was not much reaction in the restaurant. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and he left silently.
When everyone saw the street after Long Shanshan left, there was a bright red color, and the smell of blood seemed to cover up the smell of wine and meat in the restaurant.
Someone realized something was wrong and hurriedly chased out the door. When they saw the scene on the street, they couldn't help but gasp.
There was a pool of blood on the street, and a dozen people in white clothes lay there. The distinguished guest of the Holy Lotus Sect who had not appeared for a long time died silently in front of the gate. There were still a few people who had a trace of breath left and were being locked up and taken away by the officials.
"How... how is it possible? How can these officials be the opponents of the Holy Lotus Cultists?"
"Is it the one who posted the notice just now?"
"A single person? In broad daylight, no one heard a sound?"
Everyone looked at each other, as if they felt a bit of tension in the atmosphere. Then when they looked at the notice pasted in front of the restaurant, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"What kind of yamen is the Mi Zhao Si? Why have you never heard of it?" A junior with little experience in the world asked suspiciously.
But he didn't know that when the old Jianghu around him saw the name of Mi Zhaosi, they were so frightened that their legs became weak and they could hardly stand.
"The imperial court is going to take serious action!" one person said in panic.
"As for that? We have thousands of people in the world, but a secret edict, what is there to be afraid of?"
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the front, and several people in white clothes broke out of the window of a shop in front, fell heavily to the ground, and vomited blood.
Then another head flew out and rolled onto the street.
The people in the restaurant exclaimed again, and their expressions suddenly changed.
In the meantime, Long Shanshan came out of a shop in front and said coldly: "The rebels of the Holy Lotus Sect refuse to arrest those who resist, kill them on the spot."
There was a domineering and overbearing tone in that cold tone, which spread throughout the street.
As long as a warrior has some martial arts cultivation, his heart will sink. With such a strong internal force, its strength is unfathomable.
Not even 10% of the people in the world have such strength.
The few people in white clothes were powerless to resist on the street. Long Shanshan spoke again and coldly snorted: "Take them away!"
Officials from the imperial court escorted him away immediately.
Before the people in the restaurant could react, a scream came from the street: "Oh no, Shifang Jianmen has been destroyed, the leader died in the battle, more than half of the disciples died, and the remaining survivors have been arrested by the government!"
"What?!"
Everyone's minds buzzed.
"How is this possible? Shifang Jianmen is a sect that has been developed in Jingzhou Prefecture for a hundred years. How can it be destroyed?"
"That's right, I just had a drink with Master Shifang yesterday!"
The messenger ran to the door of the restaurant out of breath and said in horror: "It's absolutely true! The Shifang Sword Sect was destroyed in less than a quarter of an hour! There was only one man and one sword! The head of Shifang could not withstand a single move from his sword!"
I heard that he was a master of the Secret Order. He attacked the Shifang Sword Sect because he heard that the Shifang Sword Sect had joined the Holy Lotus Sect. If you don’t believe it, just go to the Shifang Sword Sect and see. The houses of the Shifang Sect have been demolished, and dozens of
A disciple was imprisoned."
"One man and one sword destroyed the Shifang Jianmen? It took less than a quarter of an hour?"
Everyone who heard the news was dumbfounded, wondering how could such a bizarre thing happen?
Although Shifang Jianmen is not a great sect, it does have some background, especially since the current leader is a master of the early stage of Peiyuanjing, and is also considered a number one figure in the world.
How could he not survive one turn in the enemy's hands?
Moreover, the other party is from the Secret Zhao Division...
"One person uses a sword, another person uses a knife... This is the Hundred Swords Division and the Hundred Sword Division dispatching together."
This is a dangerous message, indicating that something big will happen in Jingzhou!
From now on, any place in the city where the Holy Lotus Sect is present will soon be swept away. Anyone who dares to wear white clothes in the city, regardless of whether they are true or false, will be arrested. Anyone who dares to resist will be executed on the spot.
In just half a day, all the dungeons in Jingzhou Mansion were full, and by night there was no room to accommodate new prisoners.
Late at night, Bai Song visited the prefect's mansion again.
Mr. Su Yousu didn't feel sleepy at all tonight. He kept pacing back and forth in the courtroom, frowning and sweating profusely.
When someone reported that Bai Song was coming, Su You quickly calmed down and went out to greet him.
"Master Bai."
"Master Su, I heard that there are not enough cells."
Su You immediately smiled bitterly: "Master Bai, how can you arrest people like this?"
"Why not? Didn't Mr. Su say that there is not enough manpower, and I came to do it for you?"
"this……"
"Since there are not enough cells, we have to make room for it. Do you think..."
"Yes, yes... just catch them and scare them. If they should be released, they must be released."
"Let go? Who said they should let go? These people claim to be rebels from the Holy Lotus Sect, but they still refuse to repent after being caught. Since they are rebels, they should be taken to trial. I have fulfilled my promise, and now
It’s time for Mr. Su to fulfill his promise.”
"What...what promise do I have?"
"Master Su, you won't forget, right? I arrest people and you kill people. These people should be beheaded. What I mean is that they will be executed immediately after dawn to make room for the cells."
