The so-called debate sounds nice, but in fact there is absolutely no fairness at all.
Ye An and Fan Zhongyan represent the Song Dynasty court. In a sense, they have the right to overturn the table. As officials, they are fundamentally different from the demons of the White Lotus Sect.
But on the other hand, they were not popular among the people. Almost all of these victims were on Fang Linyue's side from the beginning.
She inadvertently and deliberately put Ye An and her in the same status. As long as Ye An ends the debate, he will admit that his identity is the same as her, the saint of the White Lotus Society.
Of course Ye An understood this, but he had to die. These victims could not see all this. They would not feel it was unfair. On the contrary, they felt that Ye An had taken all the benefits.
Standing on the high platform, Ye An was silent for a while, carefully observing the people around him. It was also a high platform for observing Bailian society.
Fighting with oneself, what gives these people the courage?
In other words, does the White Lotus Society now have the courage to confront the court? In his impression, it will take at least ten years for the White Lotus Society to transform into the Maitreya Sect.
Now that the conflicts and the gap between rich and poor in the Song Dynasty are not so obvious, there is no need for the White Lotus Society to start moving towards the more extreme Maitreya religion!
Regardless of what the woman across the street has in store, Ye An is not going to give her a chance. He and Fan Zhongyan are comforting not only Yingtian Mansion this time, but also the entire Jianghuai area. Even Yingtian Mansion has so many victims.
I don’t know how many there are further south.
When the victims gradually focused their attention on him, Ye An said loudly: "I just want to ask you, what are you doing here after leaving your hometown and rushing to Yingtian Mansion?!"
There was a brief pause for the victims to think about questions, but then Ye An continued to ask questions in a barrage of questions.
"Are you here to listen to the sermons of this White Lotus demon? Or are you here to escape?! Can the White Lotus Society open a warehouse for you to store grain? Can the White Lotus Society exempt you from miscellaneous taxes? The White Lotus Society can help you live a better life in the future.
If so, what should the court do?! Now I and the pacifier are in Yingtian Mansion. What grievances, difficulties and appeals do you have? You don’t ask the court official or the pacifier. Instead, you listen to the White Lotus Demon.
His charming words, to put it nicely, are like asking Yu Blind, but to put it harshly, I have to guess whether you are the real victims of the disaster! Or maybe there are rioters hiding among you!"
This argument made all the victims present panic, and Inspector Liu, who caught Ye An's eyes, also shouted at the top of his voice: "Although there is a word difference between disaster victims and rioters, the court's attitude towards them is completely different!
The disaster victims come and the common people suffer and become helpless victims of the disaster, while the rioters are the troublemakers who gather together to cause trouble, fearing that the world will not be in chaos!"
Coaxing and scaring are always the best way to deal with ordinary people. A rational voice finally appeared among the victims: "Please let the Heavenly Official know that we are not random people, but actually the victims of the disaster! The Heavenly Official knows clearly! The Heavenly Official
Mingjian!"
Seeing that the victims became as docile as cattle under Ye An's comfort, Lin Yue couldn't help but taunted her from the high platform of the White Lotus Society: "Ye Hou is such a powerful official. We are good citizens.
The obedient people became victims of natural disasters because they could no longer survive. We never thought of Yehou, and we became rioters!"
"Fart! What a smelly fart! You said you are a little lady after all, regardless of whether you are good-looking or not, and whether your net worth is innocent or not. Just because a woman is dressed so revealingly and has such a promiscuous attitude, how can she still become a member of the White Lotus Society?
Saint, according to my opinion, this so-called White Lotus Society is nothing more than that. It is probably not a group of male thieves and female prostitutes gathering together, right?! Otherwise, why would you say something to prevent chaos in the world?"
"Insolent! How can I, the White Lotus Saint, allow you to slander me?!"
"You are the one who is presumptuous! I am the Marquis of Yunzhong County in the Song Dynasty. I am the deputy envoy who promoted the disaster relief in the Jianghuai River. Who dare you to shout in front of me! Scold me? Come on, lock him up! I want to
Let’s see who dares to help!”
Following Ye An's words, Tieniu and his men pushed through the crowd without saying a word and tied up the provocative man with a hemp rope. This was what Ye An had ordered a long time ago. During the whole process, the victims subconsciously refused to stop him.
The few followers of the White Lotus Society who were planning to take action were stopped by Fang Linyue.
She is very smart. If she chooses to confront Tieniu at this time, she will immediately become a rioter in Ye An's mouth, and the surrounding victims will also draw a clear line with them in order to avoid trouble.
There were not many victims who truly believed in the White Lotus Society these days. Before she could give a lecture, most of the victims gathered because of their previous promise to help them avoid miscellaneous taxes.
Fang Linyue thought that Ye An had no other means, and the arrests were just to intimidate him, but Ye An said again: "From now on, all victims outside the city can enter the city, but you also know that there are too many of you.
If you want to enter the city, you need to be on a first-come, first-served basis, and the government also needs to register your identity. If there is no applicant, three people, one household, will be required to jointly guarantee their identity! It may take a longer time, but according to the Tianfu
From now on, we will set up a porridge shed at the east gate and a thatched cottage at the south gate to temporarily accommodate you and others!"
If the previous words were still empty words, now Ye An's move has given the victims reassurance. The number of victims in Yingtian Mansion will only increase. Various problems will always arise outside the city. If someone dies of illness,
Starving to death would have unimaginable consequences.
Ye An knows this, and so do the victims. As long as they can enter the city, it will give the victims hope. As for the rest, they still have to wait. After all, the court cannot give tax exemptions to the victims all at once!
Ye An's voice appeared again: "But there are some rules for me to remember clearly! Those who make noises will be punished by Qianmian; those who rob others' property will be punished by Qianmian; those who shake people's hearts with untrue words
, Qianmian, assassinate three thousand miles away; those who deceive the public with evil words and deceive people's hearts, beheaded!"
As Ye An finished speaking, Tieniu led his soldiers and the returned troops outside the city to shout at the same time: "Behead! Behead! Behead!"
The momentum was so great that it frightened the people. Even Fan Zhongyan and Wu Yu, who were unprepared, were frightened.
At this time, the victims were all looking at the location of the White Lotus Society. Ye An's words were very targeted. The first few charges were all about assassinating Pei Sanqianli from Guizhou Province, but the last charge was "Decisive Killing"
The word "cut".
From what Ye An said, even people who originally didn't believe it became fearful. The greatest role of the law is not to rule after the fact, but to intimidate the lawbreakers before the incident.
Fan Zhongyan and Wu Yu were quite satisfied with Ye An's actions. The only thing they felt was inappropriate was that Ye An's killing spirit in the end was too strong.
But Ye An looked at the two of them seriously and said: "You two, although the Bailian Society is just a Buddhist association that pays attention to purity, its evil intentions are obvious, so we must be on guard! Have you forgotten that Taoism was prevalent in the late Xianping years?
What happened next? The real Taoism did not appear. Instead, it was those young people who used the guise of Taoism to deceive and deceive the king!"
"Now that more than ten thousand victims of the disaster have gathered in Tianfu, the White Lotus Society has the ability to incite the victims! If given time..."
Fan Zhongyan finally changed his expression, frowned and said: "This is a serious problem for the country!"
