Chapter 277: The Sin of Death

Although this Zhang Erhe did not recognize the bones scattered all over the place, he saw the broken spirit seat.

The words ‘Li Chengxi’ were written on the spirit seat.

His body shivered at the sight of the spirit seat.

And then the face became distorted.

Zhang Anshi stood up and walked forward, but he stomped his toes on a broken bone and gazed at Zhang Erhe, “This person, don’t you recognize him?”

He pressed on sentence by sentence.

It seemed that by this time, all the people in the hall had seen the abnormality on Zhang Erhe’s face.

Zhang Erhe shook his head and said, “I …… don t recognize it.”

Zhang Anshi coldly laughed: “Indeed heartless, to this day, even his own ancestors do not recognize. It doesn’t matter if you don’t recognize it, what is this …… person, do you know?”

Zhang Erhe buried his head and tried to hide his anger and fear, he didn’t dare to utter a single breath.

Zhang Anshi said, “Li Chengxi, is the backbone of the early years of the White Lotus Sect, the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect of different attitudes, some chose to cooperate with the Yuan Dynasty government, and some of them to fight against the Yuan Dynasty as their own mission. Among them, Li Chengxi a team, but only to preach to avoid the world, the so-called avoid the world, in fact, but is just a boredom, fooling the people, earn money.”

“But after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the White Lotus remnants of cooperation with the government because of the collapse of the Mongols, and was killed, anti-Yuan White Lotus sect, but also most of the silence. Only this Li Chengxi this one, but instead stayed alone, the court has had a crackdown on it, but this Li Chengxi since then gradually silent, after the death, he had a son and daughter, more unknown ……”

Zhang Anshi laughed more and more, looked at Zhang Erhe and said, “Do these …… you know?”

Zhang Erhe said, “You …… you ……”

Although he tried desperately to hide it, the indignation in his eyes could not be fooled.

“Li Chengxi is your father, I have long had people to open the coffin to kill the corpse, you are the son of a man, but still want to cover up?”

Zhang Erhe trembled, “I …… don t know what you are talking about?”

Zhang Anshi laughed and said, “Hey, you still don’t understand the reasoning ah, you don’t think about it, since the brocade guards can find out where you are located in the state and county location, will certainly be able to find out your paternal lineage, find out your paternal lineage, then your family actually have nothing to hide. That Li Chengxi’s grave, has always been responsible for taking care of, every time to the Chung Yeung, there will be people to sweep the grave.”

“Of course, you are not going to go, you both plan to be a fairy, you must not easily throw your head. But in Juzhou, but there is a group of people, every year and festival will go, these …… in fact, a check will know, this family, claiming to be Zhang, also do not know what business, but rich and powerful, one of them, called Zhang Wusheng, he should be your son. He was lucky, gave birth to five grandchildren for you, in Juzhou, living a godlike day.”

Zhang Erhe’s voice began to carry grief, “You …… you ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “You told your children and grandchildren to change their ways, to stay away from the White Lotus Sect and to enjoy glory and wealth in Juzhou, and this is because you know very well that an activity like the White Lotus Sect can capsize at any time, and that not only might it be subject to a crackdown by the officials but also that even internally, if the wrists of those who do not have enough to convince the people may not have a good ending!”

“You have done everything that is unscrupulous, but wishing your children and grandchildren to be innocent, you let them live in Juju, and not only that, but you have followed the example of the other squires, who have bought countless tracts of land, and have followed the example of the others, who have passed on poetry and books to their families, and have educated their own children and grandchildren to be able to study and become officials as well. One of your grandchildren is already a scholar, is he not?”

Zhang Erhe’s voice trembled so much that he no longer knew how to reply.

Zhang Anshi said coldly: “It’s really a tricky plan, all the roads are paved! Even if one day, you really failed, your children and grandchildren, as usual, can enjoy endless glory and wealth. You are both immortals, then …… I would like to see. Come person …… will that Zhang Wusheng bring me.”

A few moments later, but someone actually escorted a man in his thirties in. This person was obese and fair in complexion, but his face was ashen at this moment, he didn’t dare to look at Zhang Erhe, and only hung his head low.

Immediately after coming in, the man snapped to his knees and said, “Spare my life!”

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, did not even look at him and only spat out one word: “Chop!”

After the words.

With a resounding clang, a long blade of steel fell with a shock.

Immediately after that silver light, this Wusheng’s head fell to the ground.

The head rolled on the ground, a spray of blood splattering and slashing where the cut had been made, and blood filled the air.

Everything is dry.

Zhang Wusheng, whose body and head were separated, then fell into a pool of blood.

Zhang Anshi didn’t dare to look at the puddle of blood, he was kind-hearted and blood-sick, so he simply focused all his attention on Zhang Erhe: “Aren’t you an immortal? Come, is it possible to teach him to come back from the dead?”

Zhang Erhe was struck by lightning, it all came too fast.

He did not even have time to take a look at Zhang Wusheng, and even Zhang Anshi, even Zhang Wusheng did not bother to interrogate him, and with a chop, he immediately killed him here.

He began to become incomparable grief, spiritual defense, seems to have signs of collapse, body shaking, as if all of a sudden, everything in this world has no meaning.

Zhang Anshi said, “If you can not teach him to come back to life from the dead now, then …… I will have to kill a lot of people, you know in your heart, since I hold Zhang Wusheng, then this Wusheng’s family has long been escorted together, do you want to try to see?”

Zhang Erhe was already out of his mind.

At this moment, looking at the scattered bones on the ground, looking at the head on the ground, he had a sad face and his tearful eyes rose up.

Zhang Anshi, however, could not breed any sympathy for this person’s tears.

Zhang Erhe seemed to have exhausted his strength before finally making a sound, saying, “You guys are so vicious, so vicious hearted.”

He mouthed the words, “How can you do this, how can you do this ………”

Zhang Anshi was in no hurry at this point, he had to wait for the truth that Zhang Erhe would obediently tell after his next mental breakdown.

But just then, someone shouted, “Even more vicious, it’s no match for you.”

The crowd was startled, but it was Chen Daowen, who had escorted Zhang Erhe, who finally couldn’t hold his tongue: ”How many people have you killed, don’t you know it? You fooled the people and taught them to send countless amounts of money, to you. How many people, who don’t even have enough to eat, you and your clique use ghosts and gods to intimidate them, and they scrimp and save every day in exchange for the talismanic water you bestowed on them. Those who are seriously ill do not go to seek medical help, but beg to sue you, and give you all the money, did you really save them? But when the people died, you and your clique were just fooling around, saying that they would be able to have a good reincarnation in their next life.”

“In your so-called cave, how many women you have abused …… have been hidden in your so-called cave You have done so many things that hurt the heavens and the earth that it is hard to write down, and now that retribution has finally come to your own head, how dare you still have the face to say such words?”

Chen Daowen was furious and roared out, and finally …… but desperately suppressed his emotions and closed his mouth.

Zhang Anshi said, “Now, say it, this Wu Sheng I have been extraordinarily gracious, gave his a pain in the ass, but next, if you are still here to deny, then it is not such a pain in the ass, even if you don’t care about yourself, but also have to take care of your own closest relatives, you don’t want to see them begging for their lives and death, right?”

Zhang Erhe could not suppress the tears, and finally said, “I …… I …… am Li Xi Zhou, is the White Lotus Sect, people called the Buddha father, and she …… she is the My sister-in-law, is the Buddha mother ……”

When these words came out, everyone was silent as they stared at Zhang Erhe, unable to imagine that that legendary, immortal-like figure was so ordinary.

Outside the hall, someone broke down and said hysterically, “No, no …… he’s never an Immortal, never an Immortal ……”

It turns out that there are a lot of secret worship of the White Lotus Church congregation also followed to see the fun, they naturally never believe that the immortal is going to be arrested by the court, and thus …… purely hold the mindset of watching jokes.

But now that this man actually recognized himself as the Buddha’s father, how could they bear it in their hearts?

Outside this hall, many people seem to be about to collapse, their eyes are red, and their mouths cry out furiously, “No, this is a liar, he is by no means the Buddha Father, the Buddha Father’s law is boundless …… categorically not ……”

They roared with exhaustion and hoarseness, like a maniac.

Many times …… it is indeed so, the people who are deceived, will give everything they have, some take their own daughters to those White Lotus Sect backbone, some will give their life savings, some sell their fields and land, just to get some bestowed talismanic water.

This many people, in fact, has long been nothing, some are only convinced that they have given all, the immortal must be able to bless them without any disaster.

A group of people who have nothing, how dare to believe that they so many years, weekdays even a mouthful of meat do not dare to eat, sick also can not afford to go to catch medicine, those who this little by little accumulated money, humbly offer all their own to others, in exchange for nothing more than a joke?

“Never, never! No way, no way!” Some people raised their arms, with hot tears in their eyes, and even began to chant.

So immediately a lieutenant pounced on the man and restrained him.

But there were quite a few such people, and of the hundreds outside, nearly half of them were mixed in, and for a moment the place began to become confused.

Others did not get excited, but just stayed where they were, as if they were frozen, motionless, their lips wriggling, as if they refused to believe what was happening in front of them.

Zhang Anshi ignored them, and even when the lieutenants were about to escort the people away, Zhang Anshi also commanded, “This is an innocent people, do not need to be regarded as a party, do not need to be escorted up, if they still dare to clamor, they will be directly driven away, as long as they are still willing to listen to them, they can still be allowed to stay here.”

Zhang Anshi explained just that.

That Zhang Erhe heard, but a bitter smile, to this time, he realized that he has lost all the game.

If Zhang Anshi was infuriated and ordered a pop-up, it meant that he still had leverage.

But Zhang Anshi did not give a damn about the so-called White Lotus Sect rabble, and did not even bet on it, which shows that the court is confident enough to control the situation, at least for the general congregation, the court is not afraid to make any trouble.

This Zhang Erhe, no, this Li Xi Zhou said: “My father is indeed …… indeed Li Chengxi, it is he who brought our brother and sister into the line, and so on, after his death, some people will be our brother and sister as the main, after the beginning of the Jingdan, the north land was beaten into a pot of porridge, the people’s corv茅e is very heavy, that time …… We take this to grow, I …… I modified some of the White Lotus scriptures, and widely in the world of the states and counties to set up White Lotus Taoist, these years …… these years …… is also considered to be prosperous ……”

Zhang Anshi laughed coldly, sat back in his original seat, and continued, “I know all of this, what I want to know is …… what other scandalous things have you done?”

“I …… amassed wealth …… and looked at anyone’s daughter, so I told them that there was a demon in her …… and I colluded with many others …… I ……”

Zhang Anshi listened to all this, there was indignation in his eyes, and there was also a loathing that he couldn’t hide, but he said, “Tell me about it, what happened in Zhongdu.”

This …… is what’s crucial.

Li Xi Zhou winced as he hemmed and hawed, not daring to say anything further.

Zhang Anshi said, “Why …… can you easily enter and exit the mausoleum city of Fengyang, the central capital, and why can you retreat in one piece?”

Li Xi Zhou hesitated for a moment and finally said, “The eunuchs …… of Feng Yang …… opened the door and led the way.”

In the ear room on the side, Zhu Di had already shivered when he heard this.

He was so enraged that he wanted to storm out of the ear room several times, but in the end, he calmed down.

At this time, Zhang Anshi said, “Why are they leading the way?”

“Eunuchs do not have families and children, counting on their next life …… Not to mention that most of the eunuchs who were sent to Fengyang were left out in the cold in the palace, and they were idle on weekdays, so when someone preached to them, they were extra pious …… “Li Xi Zhou said.

Hearing this, Zhang Anshi’s face turned cold and said, “Not good.”

He suddenly clapped his hands, and then exclaimed, “Where is the Forbidden City, among the Forbidden City?”

Li Xi Zhou looked at Zhang An Shi in despair.

The crowd was a bit puzzled when they saw Zhang Anshi’s sudden reaction become extraordinarily intense.

Zhang Anshi asked sternly, “Who is …… in the Forbidden City?”

The resentment in the bottom of Li Xi Zhou’s eyes, swept past, but said, “I …… I don’t know ……”

Zhang Anshi was furious, directly picked up the shocking wood on the case, and flew straight toward this Li Xi Zhou.

This shocking wood smashed directly on Li Xi Zhou’s head, he ate the pain, ah ah ah, holding his head.

Zhang Anshi is anxious: “Torture, torture, give me with all available torture are used, on this Li Xi Zhou, and his sister, and these captured remnants of …… on Li Xi Zhou’s grandson also give me torture!”

Zhang Anshi exclaimed.

Suddenly becoming hysterical, Zhang Anshi’s eyes were red, like a furious lion.

It was all too sudden, but Zhang Anshi gave the order, and the lieutenants no longer hesitated.

Zhang Anshi turned, looked to the Minister of Justice Wu Zhong and said, “Gentlemen, there is now a serious matter to be done, you first evade it. And …… the people who surrounded to watch, also please go out, the hilarity is over, now is the time for children.”

Zhang Anshi threw down these words, but rushed straight into the ear room.

In the ear room, when Zhu Di saw Zhang Anshi rushing in all at once, he looked at Zhang Anshi suspiciously and said, “What’s the reason for this?”

Zhang Anshi said with a white face, “Please your majesty immediately set up a ride back to the palace …… No, it is the minister who accompanies your majesty back to the palace, and also please your majesty, permit me to select one hundred internal thousand house lieutenants to accompany you.”

When Zhu Di heard this, he frowned up, he gazed at Zhang Anshi and said, “Do you mean …… that there are remnants of this Li Xi Zhou in the palace?”

Zhang Anshi’s mood at this time showed a few points of anxiety, said, “There must be, although I don’t know how many, since there are in the central capital of Fengyang, and there are quite a few, then the tens of thousands of eunuchs in the Forbidden City, there must be a few of them in it, and …… I’ve already made the judgment that these few people …… are only afraid to have begun to do the trick.”

“They are still not dead even now?” Zhu raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Anshi said, “After the action on my side ……, this Li Xi Monday began to judge, when the destruction of the imperial mausoleum in the Central Capital did not get the effect he should have, so in order to provoke His Majesty, is to …… pass out to conspire against the Rumors …… and these, apparently, can not yet anger His Majesty to kill, then …… if in the Forbidden City, if there are a few of such a congregation, he was taken before the capture, will choose to do what?”

Zhu Di instantly understood what was going on and subconsciously said, “Layer by layer!”

“Yes, it must be layers and layers of code, until completely enraged his majesty, teach his majesty to lose his sanity, which gave him …… the opportunity. So I judge, should be more than ten days ago, he has given the order, and this order sent to the Forbidden City, should be in three or four days ago …… he conveyed the order soon after, it was captured …… today escorted to the capital … …That is to say …… probably the people in the palace, have begun to do the trick, or …… with what trick.”

Zhu Di sucked in a mouthful of cool air: “This kind of clumsy and unpleasant fraud, how can there be so many people who believe in it, and even for him to take the risk?”

Zhang Anshi said, “After being deceived, the vast majority of people, in fact, will not repent, but will instead intensify their efforts; they will continue to deceive themselves themselves, constantly reinforcing their own perceptions, because in this world, even the lowest of the low will never admit that they are heavenly fools. Quite the opposite is true, every person thinks they are unique and the ultimate wise person.”

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said, “Today I want to personally break this dog thief into pieces, it seems, only to wait for two days, go, one side of the side to say, you pick people, with me into the palace.”

Zhang Anshi said: ”On my side, I will try my best to torture this Li Xi Zhou …… severely, and must teach him to open his mouth, but we can’t put our hopes on him, what this person …… has committed is a monstrous crime, and he knows himself that he By no means good to live, and the general threat, even even if it is to take his grandchildren, can not threaten him, at best, just let him mental collapse, so I thought, the most urgent thing is to return to the palace first, to strengthen the vigilance, when …… within the thousand households, in the palace mapping, will be these several party members to pull out. ”

Zhu Di side galloped, out of here, is already flying on the horse.

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, shouted, “Chen Daowen, bring a group of men and follow me.”

Chen Daowen listened and didn’t fight the conversation.

Right now, they were the only ones who were the most reliable, and even though many of them were exhausted to the extreme, they were still shaking in their spirits at this moment and hurriedly chased after them.

…………

Li Xi Zhou was sent directly to the imperial prison.

Chen Li didn’t dare to be slow and personally used the torture.

This Li Xi Zhou, however, just denied it.

Chen Li was obviously anxious as well, and was busy teaching people to escort his closest relatives directly to him.

In front of the face of the closest relatives, Li Xi Zhou said: “Officials, you say bombing the imperial tomb is what crime? You said …… what is the crime of rebellion? As for other crimes, since there is no need to mention, which one which one, are enough to teach me not to die well! And they …… also absolutely can’t live well …… you say it …… cough …… cough …… What is the use of threatening me …… with them?”

He said and laughed harshly.

He had drifted back from his mental breakdown.

Right now …… he has another way.

Li Xi Zhou said, “In fact …… if you release them now, give them a boat, send out to sea, within ten days and half a month, I am sure that they are safe and sound to leave, perhaps I will speak. Only a pity, you are afraid that you also can not wait for this ten days and half a month, hey …… everything is over, you mouth say that I have sinned deeply, ha ha …… even if I have sinned, but those ignorant fools, do you think, they do not give their own daughters to me to be spoiled, they Such foolishness, won t they give it to others to spoil? Their silver, don’t they give me cheated away, do they keep their wealth?”

Saying that, Li Xi Zhou laughed maniacally again, by now he had already split his skin open and turned to Chen Li, revealing his teeth that had almost been mutilated.

He stared at Chen Li with dead eyes and said, ”It’s not my fault, it’s their stupidity, it’s their irredeemability, it’s because they know that the world is a difficult place, that’s why they want to take shortcuts. What is a shortcut? A shortcut is that …… as long as one follows the recitation of a passage of scripture, one can make oneself rich in the next life. The shortcut is that as long as one offers some money, one can teach oneself a lifetime of peace and happiness. So …… it is not just me who is greedy, but all beings in the world, who does not have greed?”

As if in his own defense, he continued to laugh, “Look at those people, after learning that I am the Buddha’s father, what did they look like! Haha …… They still refused to believe it even to death. Do you know why they can’t believe it? Because …… the more stupid they are, the smarter they think they are, and the more ignorant they are, the more they think they have true knowledge. You kill me ……”

Chen Li narrowed his eyes, there was no expression on his face, only a moment later, in this imperial prison, the miserable screams of Li Xi Zhou soon came out again.

…………

Back in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Di rushed straight to the big interior, accompanied by Zhang Anshi, with only a few beloved ones, first rushed to Empress Xu’s bedchamber at fire speed.

In this palace, what Zhu Di really cares about is just Empress Xu.

As for the other concubines, most of them were from the Joseon Dynasty, and to be brutally honest, they were nothing more than Zhu Di’s lust tools.

Arriving at Empress Xu’s bedchamber, everything here was as it was, as if nothing had happened.

On the contrary, Empress Xu learned that Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi had come and were traveling in a hurry.

At this time, she was pregnant with her sixth child and her movement was very inconvenient, and when she saw Zhang Anshi, she even took on a bit of shyness.

Zhang Anshi was also so embarrassed that he didn’t dare to raise his head.

Zhang Anshi, after all, is one generation younger than Empress Xu, married to Empress Xu’s niece, and Empress Xu’s eldest son’s wife and brother, such an age, and still pregnant, in front of the younger generation, there are indeed some inappropriate.

At this moment, only Queen Xu said, “Your Majesty, what’s going on, why is there a murderous aura? My concubine smells an aura of blood.”

Zhu Di tried his best to stabilize his voice and said, “Nothing, it’s just that Zhang Anshi insisted on coming to greet you, saying that it’s been a long time since he came to pay his respects, and that his heart is very unsure if he doesn’t come to greet you. Isn’t that right, Zhang Anshi?”

Zhang Anshi quickly said, “Yes, yes, I …… think about it day and night …… No, I …… have been thinking about it since I heard that the empress is pregnant, and I want to come to take a look at the Niangniang’s color.”

Empress Xu’s fingertip poked Zhang Anshi’s head in vain and smiled gently, “You brat, if you wanted to come and pay your respects, why would you need to do so.”

Empress Xu appeared subdued, but obviously she was by no means foolish, and clearly knew that this was nothing more than a pretext for Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi.

Zhu Di accompanied Empress Xu to say a few words, and then led Zhang Anshi out of this bedchamber, saying, “Could this be a mistake? I see that the palace is very calm, not like there is something big going on.”

Zhang Anshi obviously has not put down the worry in his heart, said, “Your Majesty, line up, line up, always teach people to rest a little more at ease, the minister …… always have a premonition …… ”

Seeing Zhu Di gazing at himself, Zhang Anshi himself was happy, “Maybe it’s because I was born to be a crow’s mouth ……”

Zhu Di said, “You come to line up, let also lost ha cooperate with you, anything in this palace can be investigated, can ask, do not have to have any taboos.”

Zhang Anshi was relieved to hear this.

This is no less than giving himself a piece of mind, he was afraid of some of the palace exams, more taboo.

Zhang Anshi thought about it, “I remembered a person, let this person to be a helper …… then it is no better.”

Zhu said, “Who?”

“His Highness King Yi.” Zhang Anshi said, “He is most familiar with the palace and has a keen eye, any movement or difference in the palace cannot escape his eyes, this is not from my minister, it is from him.”

Zhu Di’s face twitched as he took a deep breath and said, “Go summon him.”

Zhang Anshi nodded.

Zhu Di went back to his bedchamber, now that there is something going on in the palace, he is still uneasy about Empress Xu.

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, looked at each other face to face with Yiluoha.

Also lost ha a bitter smile, learned that there are eunuchs guilty, his heart is also very apprehensive, although the eunuchs guarding the mausoleum, this is some of the eunuchs sent out of the wrong, in fact, it is equivalent to exile, but after all, …… the vast majority of personnel arrangements, or to go through the Secretary of Department of Justice, who coincidentally, coincidentally, precisely in charge of the Secretary of Department of Justice.

Now the palace may also have an accident, it is even more worried about him, and if anything else happens, he can hardly be blamed.

“Wei Guo Gong …… you must check carefully ah, can not make any mistakes, now start, we will be in the Wei Guo Gong behind the head, also step by step, Wei Guo Gong said what is what.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Directory, give me all the directory of eunuchs, remember to be detailed, when to enter the palace, what position in the palace …… these should be the Secretary of Ceremonial Supervision is there.”

Also Lost Ha said, “You can find it against the roster ……”

Zhang Anshi said: “Know big data? It’s about finding suspicions from different places, and then eliminating them, it will be more complicated to say, but the lieutenants of the Inner Chitose, and the official school academy, all have to learn this, and these people I brought, use it.”
