Chapter 30: The A-character scroll is complicated an

Chapter 30 The A-character scroll is confusing and everyone has his or her own plans.

Feng Ziying was not too sure. This matter was too big and no one could cover it up. Wang Chaozuo did have no intention of rebelling. It was even a gun used by some people to build momentum. But since it was a gun, he did not have the consciousness to be a gun. , and met the White Lotus Sect who was ambitious and eager to take advantage of the situation, which was sad.

"Zhaozhao, I can't give you this promise. If I did, I would be lying to you. I can only say that if you have not joined the White Lotus Sect, then you may only be regarded as a subordinate. If you can If you perform meritorious service and atone for your sins, and prove that you are not a rebel, then you may have a certain chance of getting away with it.”

Feng Ziying carefully considered her words, not only to make Wang Chaozuo realize that she had not deceived him, but also to leave a glimmer of hope for the other party, while also leaving some room for herself.

"If you can provide some other assistance, then I can find a way to help you mediate..."

Although he didn't dare to believe it completely, the attitude shown by the other party still had to be treated well. Moreover, in this situation, he also felt that he had no way out. He was unwilling to lose any possibility. It was only his own life. Weijia Hutong There are hundreds of households around him, as well as his wife, children, and children, which he cannot let go of easily.

"Master Feng, in this situation, is there any way for us to survive?" Wang Chaozuo's voice was also trembling slightly. After all, it was about his family and his life. Even though he had long been obsessed with death, he still had to survive. desire.

"If I say yes, will you believe it?" Feng Ziying did not answer directly, but asked a question, and then said: "Now you have no choice but to believe me, and do everything as I just said , No one in this world helps you for no reason, and I do the same, but I have a good habit of following rules, keeping promises, and I will try my best to do what I promise, so it’s still what I said just now, It’s only possible if you do it,…”

"Master Feng, I'm afraid it's not that simple. These White Lotus cult bandits are not only from Linqing, many of them are from Yanzhou..." Wang Chaozuo hesitated, "And there must be others who have made such a big fuss this time. For some reason, there are many people in Linqing City who want to cause chaos and cause trouble..."

Feng Ziying immediately stopped the other party and continued, "Shut up! If you want to survive, just swallow all this in your stomach and let it rot. This has never happened before, you know? Otherwise, no one can help you!"

Feng Ziying could imagine that there must be something fishy here, but this was definitely not the time to turn over this card. That would only bring trouble, even to herself.

Now he doesn't have the mind to think so much. Solving his own affairs, and of course finding a way out for Wang Chao and others, is what he wants to do.

"Uncle Wang, let me call you Uncle Wang. If you believe me, I can help you. Well, my father also has some colleagues and friends in Zuojun Dudufu, Shandong Dusi and the Procuratorate of Punishment. You can still talk." Feng Ziying knew that she must give the other party a reassurance, "But the premise is that you need to perform meritorious service and atone for your sins..."

Chao Wangzuo really didn't dare to treat the young man in front of him as an ordinary person. He must have a plan before taking action. He knew that he could also guess a thing or two, but for himself, so what?

He was already at the end of his rope, even if there was a glimmer of hope, he was willing to take advantage of it, and the identity of the other party also gave him a little more confidence.

Just less than three miles away from Feng Ziying and He Zhaozuo, there are bright lights in a street-facing house on Gulou East Street.

There were only two people left in the hall, and the gate post was also three feet away from the hall in the courtyard. There seemed to be a giant beast hidden in the dark night, waiting to choose someone to devour.

 “Then the Imperial Counselor is still hesitating?” the scholar in blue shirt sitting on the official hat chair above said leisurely.

“A rat with two ends cannot achieve great things.” Another young man standing at the bottom curled his lips contemptuously, “General Master, why do people like this take it so seriously?”

“Your Majesty, the Master came from Beizhili this time, so there is a reason for it. We should show him the power of our Shandong Eastern Mahayana Sect...” The scholar in green shirt smiled faintly.

"Then why didn't the general manager choose to be with us in Yuncheng and Juye?" The young man was confused, "The situation must be much better than here, right? Here in Linqing, Li Guoyong made arrogant remarks , likes to be flashy, let’s see how these disciples and followers he leads can achieve success?”

"Your Majesty, when we propagate the Dharma and preach, we must take a long-term view in our actions. The government is also very careful, but it is just wrong. After this battle, he may learn a lesson. Well, the Hierarch also has his own arrangements. We will wait. As a guest from afar, just listen to the arrangements of Guoyong and the others, and you have underestimated Guoyong. He has also put a lot of thought into Dongchang Mansion. It is not as simple as you and I see." Confucian scholar in green shirt The folding fan was swaying slightly, but his eyes were a little deep.

Of course, Li Guoyong is not such a simple character, but he, Xu Hongru, is even less capable. This time, he wants to let the religious leader see who is better. He, Xu Hongru, still has the final say on the academic affairs in Shandong. .

“What about Wang Chao Zuo…” The young man obviously respected the scholar in blue and nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm afraid the Hierarch doesn't have much thought about it this time. It's just the thoughts of Li Guoyong and the eldest young master." The scholar in green sneered, "I'm afraid they will humiliate themselves in the end, but it will be a big disappointment for the Hierarch. , I’m not worried about this matter, it’s just a pity that Li Guoyong worked so **** the planning and preparation here just to prove himself, what a pity.”

Having said that, Xu Hongru is still quite wary of Li Guoyong's potential power here.

He always thought that his business in Yanzhou Prefecture was deeply rooted, but he did not expect that in Dongchang Prefecture, Li Guoyong's penetration was not much inferior to his. It was just that Li Guoyong was too arrogant and too rough in his work. This time, in order to please the eldest master, Prince Wang, this act of courtesy seemed too unrestrained, and I was afraid that the lord might not like it.

In the future, we need to reach out here. The level of wealth here in Dongchang Prefecture is indeed much better than that in Caozhou and Yanzhou. There are many big households, wealthy gentry gathered together, and it has the advantage of canal docks. It can be said that it is uniquely blessed by nature. Among them, there are many talents. There are too many uses, and it would be a waste if Li Guoyong used it.

The young man still doesn't understand, but he has always respected the other party. Not just anyone can take on the position of general manager, and not just anyone can bear this big banner.

"Ying Chen, are you familiar with this place?" The sudden question from the scholar in green made the young man hesitate for a moment and nodded: "Chief Master, my maternal uncle is from Dongchang Mansion, and she also lived in Dongchang Mansion when I was young. I lived at my uncle’s house for a while, and even stayed here to study, so I know some people there.”

"Master Jiaozun traveled thousands of miles to come from Luanzhou, which shows that he attaches great importance to our academic affairs in Shandong. I am somewhat sure about Caozhou and Yanzhou, but here in Dongchang Mansion, although Li Guoyong has some means, I am worried about his temper. He's too careless, so he needs someone to help him."

The young man Gao Yingchen heard what the Confucian scholar in green shirt meant and said in surprise: "Chief Master, do you mean to let me follow Li Guoyong to preach?"

"There is no need to follow him deliberately, Yingchen. Since you are familiar with Dongchang Mansion, you can preach on your own. If Li Guoyong comes to your door, you can also give in. If necessary, it is okay to follow him in preaching, but it requires Take good control of yourself. We are not preaching the Dharma for ourselves, but for the sake of Amitabha’s coming into the world and creating a vacuum home. The leader also said that the Nine Palaces are built within and the Bagua is established within. This is the only way to enter the infinite happiness. The Bagua is established within. With Cao Yan as our root, if we want to establish the Eight Diagrams, we cannot limit ourselves to Cao Yan. Dongchang Mansion is just our first step..."

 “Then over there with the religious leader…” Gao Yingchen was quite moved, but he also had some doubts.

"Isn't it the same for the Reverend Master? The mouth of the Luanzhou Stone Buddha is the root, and we are one of the eight trigrams. But the Guagram generates all phenomena and nourishes all things, so why should we be rigid?" The Confucian scholar in green shirt said with a smile: "The Reverend Master won't say anything more. , everything belongs to me, as long as we uphold the teachings, uphold the true meaning of Amitabha's birth, and create a vacuum hometown, it will be the greatest blessing. You don't know that Senior Sister Zhang of Shuntian Prefecture has received two good apprentices, and Liu Mi openly calls herself Mi Bodhisattva, Zhending Prefecture only hears the name of Bodhisattva, not the name of King Master; Zhang Hailiang is called a loner in Bazhou, and even reaches across Hejian Prefecture to our Shandong Province, haha, I don’t know what the leader is thinking. "

The scholar in green shirt couldn't help but complain a few times in front of his confidants.

Gao Yingchen was thinking thoughtfully, thinking about developing and expanding his power.

He thought that he had managed the business well in Shandong by following the chief manager. Cao and Yanzhou were in his hands, and he responded to his call. However, he never thought that Li Guoyong in Dongchang Prefecture would also have such a good situation. Then, Beizhili is even more turbulent. It seems that the general manager is right. We really need to make preparations as soon as possible and be prepared for a rainy day.

"Hehe, Chief Manager, I just think it would be a pity if Linqing gives up this time..." Gao Yingchen said.

"It depends on what the Master means. We can also open our eyes and gain insights. We know that this kind of thing is not that ordinary and simple. Li Guoyong is afraid that he is limited by his various fetters here. This can sometimes be a help. But sometimes it becomes a rope, which we need to think carefully about." Xu Hongru, a scholar in blue shirt, had a calmer look in his eyes.
