Just when Zhang Chongbo struck and fled far away, two people from Jinan Xiangsi Temple were paying attention to the matter.
One of them is the current Prime Minister of Jinan, Feng Chang. There is also another person with a yellow robe and a ceremonial crown, who looks like a Taoist.
Feng Chang was the fake son of the current Zhongchang servant Feng Xu. He was a member of the eunuch group. Like all the eunuch fake sons, he was also greedy.
But compared with his predecessors, Feng Chang pales into insignificance.
He is just greedy, but he is neither abusive nor promiscuous.
Talking about the abusers, Wang Pei, who was beaten to death by Yang Qiu before, killed more than ten thousand people. There are also the prostitutes, Xu Huang's brother Xu Xuan, who couldn't ask for a girl, so he plundered him and returned, shot him in a show, and buried him in the temple.
Feng Chang would pace back and forth anxiously. Seeing the old man beside him, he couldn't help complaining:
"My master, can that warrior you mentioned really be able to kill Han Xian? Han Xian is a border warrior and has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. Don't let that man get captured by mistake and confess to us."
When he thought of this, Feng Chang was so anxious that he walked back and forth. As he walked, he rubbed his hands and muttered:
"Why don't you send a few more and kill all your warriors?"
The Taoist next to him was full of disdain, and felt that it was really hard for such a noble disciple to be of any use.
But he had to use this person to do big things, so he comforted him with gentle words:
"Don't be impatient. Everything is arranged by Zhonghuang Taiyi. Let's just wait here. Come, let's talk with the old man again."
After saying that, this person made a move on the chess game.
Feng Chang had no choice but to sit down and play chess with him, but after playing a few moves, he couldn't leave anymore. He stood up again and said to himself:
"No, I have to show it to others."
At this time, a county soldier was so anxious that he ran into the hall to report that Han Xian, the Prince of Jinan, was on patrol and was assassinated. The assassin was not captured.
When Feng Chang heard this, he was so happy that he jumped up and down. Seeing the confusion on the officer's face, he changed his face to a scowl and assigned:
"Hurry up and ask the Cao Cao to hunt down the assassin. If there is resistance, kill him without mercy."
The county soldier accepted the order and retreated.
As soon as the county soldier left, Feng Chang was so happy that he grabbed the soldier's hand and liked it very much:
"My master, you are really amazing. Your warrior is really powerful. He can kill people and still escape. I am very satisfied."
The Taoist smiled slightly and praised:
"This is all arranged by Zhonghuang Taiyi."
Feng Chang was a man who was just feeling happy over there, and then became sad again. He said to the Taoist:
"My master, my father wrote to me some time ago, saying that everything was in accordance with the arrangements of the great sage master, but his body was still as rejuvenated as before. He said in the letter that he was determined to be sincere and asked if there was anything wrong with it. wrong."
Hearing this, the Taoist's eyes suddenly darkened, and he said slowly:
"When Huang Tian changes to the sky, everything he wants will come true."
After saying that, he changed the subject and instead nodded at Feng Chang and said:
"You'd better pay more attention to Liu Yao's report. He impeached you for the patrol department. You should pay more attention to it. Don't work hard in Jinan Kingdom and finally be taken away by others."
When he mentioned this, Feng Chang became even more angry:
"Then Liu Yao, the son, dares to look down on me because he is a member of the royal family. I will have to make him look good later. As for his impeachment, with my father in the court, everything will be safe."
Seeing that Feng Chang was so determined, the Taoist no longer tried to persuade him, but just resigned, and then Feng Chang sent him out of the temple.
At this time, all the four gates of Dongpingling were closed, and the road was full of county soldiers arresting and patrolling. The Taoist avoided the patrols, walked around a few times, knocked on the door and entered the house.
At this time, the house was filled with key members of the Taiping Taoist community in Dongpingling. As soon as they saw this Taoist coming in, they knelt down and worshiped, chanting:
"I've met the gentleman"
Yes, this person is none other than the number two figure on Taiping Road, the hero Zhang Liang.
He, his elder brother Zhang Jiao, and his younger brother Zhang Bao were all wealthy men in Julu, Jizhou, and were richer than princes. They should have lived a happy life with luxurious food and fine food.
But twenty years ago, his brother Zhang Jiao obtained a sacred book called "The Book of Taiping". This is the book of the Holy King. If his method can be implemented, it will eliminate disasters and bring peace to the world.
After that, the three brothers sold their belongings, gave up their clothes and shoes, and put on linen clothes and straw sandals. They went deep into the epidemic area and used the teachings of the Taiping Sutra to treat the victims.
Over time, the world has become famous, and believers can be found in all directions.
In fact, believers are not stupid. They really know that drinking talisman water may not save them, but they are still willing to follow the Zhang Jiao brothers.
Just because in this era when the Han family ignores them, only Taiping Dao still cares about them and is willing to give them hope of life.
And maybe even the three Zhang brothers don't know this.
As soon as Zhang Liang came in, he saw Tang Zhou, the leader of the local canal. To be honest, he didn't like this man. He only knew how to fight and suppress people, but he didn't know how to go deep into the countryside to help the poor. He was not a person of my taste.
But the development and growth of Taiping Dao cannot be separated from these people. He knew why his brother wanted to accept Tang Zhou as his disciple. It was just because he could continuously deliver money and silk to the Jizhou headquarters and help Taiping Dao recruit troops. After all, it was almost time for a big event.
Getting closer.
But the truth is this. Zhang Liang still hopes that the people of Taiping Road can be more pure emotionally, just like the three brothers did when they practiced medicine together in all directions, helping people in need.
But since my brother became a great teacher, things started to change.
He is no longer the doctor who goes deep into the countryside, but the supreme Taoist leader who goes deep into simplicity and leads millions of Taiping Taoists all over the world.
Therefore, there are more and more Tang and Zhou people on Taiping Road.
He came to Qingzhou this time not to meet the handsome minister of Jinan, nor to meet the Tang and Zhou people. He came here just because he heard that Taiping Tao had a backward man who was both a doctor and a brave man, and his disciple Ji Sun
Full of praise for him.
He was curious, so he came.
Zhang Liang looked around at the people who were kneeling and worshiping. No one dared to look up at him. He just felt bored. He walked into the inner hall, sat on the hut at the head of the hall, and said warmly:
"Fellow Taoists, please get up. Actually, I don't care about these false gifts. If you could go to the countryside more often and save a few people, I would be happier than this."
Everyone said hello, and then each stood up.
It was Tang Zhou who took the lead. He couldn't wait to know how the negotiation between Ren Gong and Jinan was going. This was a major matter involving hundreds of millions of dollars.
But before Tang Zhou could say anything, Zhang Liang had already answered. He said calmly:
"The stubborn Han Xian has been crowned. The King of Jinan has been warned and will not compete with you for the money for this local temple."
Yes, this is the reason why Mr. Han died.
The Kingdom of Jinan has always been fond of ghosts and gods, and there are many shrines in the country. There are only 800 temples dedicated to King Yangjing of Chengyang. Over the years, the money offered by the foolish people has been penetrated by the Taiping Road, and it has always been in harmony with Jinan.
But Han Xian, the young man from the north, was so bold that he encouraged the King of Jinan to seize the offering money. If he didn't die, whoever would die would die.
So Tang Zhou, who was convinced, couldn't help but be happy.
Tang Zhou was about to say some flattering words, but Zhang Liang interrupted him again. He said he was tired and dismissed everyone, leaving only his disciple to sacrifice his grandson.
Of course Jisun knew what Zhang Liang wanted to do by leaving him, and Tang Zhou also knew it, but he could only follow the others out with resentment.
When everyone retreated, Zhang Liang immediately asked Sun Ji:
"Where is the Zhang Chong you mentioned now?"
Sun Lianyi replied:
"My master, Zhang Chong is probably outside the city this time. He left a message with me before he did something. If the incident fails, he will kill himself. If the incident succeeds, he will hide in Lutou Ridge outside the city and wait for news from me."
Zhang Liang closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked curiously:
"Is this Chong really capable of unpredictable medical skills?"
Ji Sun did not dare to support Zhang Chong, so he only said to the younger one:
"My teacher, Zhang Chong may not know how to nourish Qi and restore spirit, but he is indeed quite good at trauma.
A year ago, I saw him rescuing someone with my own eyes. In my opinion, that person was already hopeless, but with just a single helping hand from him, he was able to save his life.
Later, that man joined Zhang Chong's command and is still in the Taishan Dazhai. Oh, by the way, Zhang Chong has been fighting every day in Taishan for these years. He used this technique frequently and saved countless of his subordinates."
Zhang Liang trusted Sun Ji. Since this disciple said so, it seems to be nine percent true.
He stood up, walked a few steps, and then said in confusion:
"Since Zhang Chong has such medical skills, why should he be allowed to experience the attack personally? I don't know how many fellow Taoists and brothers will lose their lives in the future if this person is killed."
When Zhang Liang complained about his grandson's obituary, he immediately explained calmly:
"Back to my master, Zhang Chong's fighting skills are even more powerful than his medical skills. I claim to have seen heroes in the world, but there are only a few who can be as brave as Zhang Chong.
A major event is approaching for our Dao, and it is time for someone with the talent of an eagle or a dog to serve as his minions. Moreover, it is not difficult for him to acquire medical skills. During this period, he has trained dozens of sword-creating doctors for our Qingzhou Dao.
Therefore, I think it would be better if this piece of opposition would serve me in some aspect of the Taiping Dao."
Zhang Liang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He finally made up his mind to go out of the city to meet Zhang Chong tomorrow.
As soon as Tang Zhou and others came out, several confidants gathered around them. They were also concerned about the transaction with Jinan, after all, their wealth depended on it.
Tang Zhou naturally explained the matter clearly, but in the end he couldn't help but reprimanded these disciples:
"I know how hard it is for you, so I will turn a blind eye to how much the offering money is, but you must not pass anything. Don't let me know that you have passed it. You will lose your life when the time comes."
All the disciples naturally nodded in greeting, but it was unclear whether they listened to it or not. After all, if you don't get rich, how can you enter the path of peace?
Among the disciples, there was an acquaintance of them all, Shan Ming, a Guangli man who was captured by Liang Zhongning of Taiping Road in Dongjun more than a year ago. Now he was lying low, hiding among the disciples, and was inconspicuous.
After Shan Ming was captured that day, he fell out of favor with Tang Zhou. Because of him, Tang Zhou was even reprimanded by the Jizhou headquarters. If it weren't for the fact that this disciple would resist the provocation, Tang Zhou would not care about him at all.
Life or death.
Later, Tang Zhou went to see himself and fished out Shan Ming. However, Shan Ming's parish had been taken over by Liang Zhongning. He could only follow Tang Zhou to Jinan, but he was no longer loved by his teacher and became a marginalized person.
At this moment, the disciples saw that the Taoist priest had not come out yet, so they curiously asked:
"Why hasn't the Taoist come out yet? He won't be reprimanded by the public, right?"
These words blocked Tang Zhou's heart. He glanced at the ignorant disciple and said bitterly:
