239 Mo Ying Niang
Pu Shougeng suddenly stood up suddenly, his face turned pale. ○ Liu Xiaoyuan actually wanted to assassinate the Zhenjin Prince and Hao Jing! Whose side is this person from?
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled. Boss Pu’s strategy was a little worse, so what should I tell him clearly?
"Assassination does not mean killing! Brother Haiyun also knows who hates the most of the true gold prince and the scholar Hao?"
"Chen Dexing!" Pu Shougeng blurted out, then smiled, "So that's it! It's so wonderful, so wonderful... Liu Zhaofu wanted to blame Chen Dexing and make Lord Song destroy the Great Wall!"
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded with a smile: "That's true! The true gold prince and Mr. Hao will not be damaged at all. Brother Haiyun, is there any assassin available?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Pu Shougeng held his beard and frowned slightly. He walked a few steps in the cabin. He suddenly stood still and looked back at Liu Xiaoyuan: "Have you ever heard of the Ming Cult?"
"Ming Cult?" Liu Xiaoyuan pondered for a moment, "But the Demon Cult?"
"That's right!" Pu Shougeng smiled, "They claimed to be the Ming Cult or the Manichaeism. Because there were once believers gathered to rebel, the government called them the Demon Cult. Now there are still some believers in the Jiangnan area, and the court is quite afraid of them. If Chen Dexing had an involvement with the Demon Cult, I am afraid that the Heavenly King would not be able to protect him!"
Liu Xiaoyuan of course knew what the Ming Cult came from. This was a sect passed down from the Western Regions. It originated in Persia and was introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty. Because there was darkness in the doctrine and light was about to come, the believers dared to rebel. The first Ming Cult uprising occurred since the Five Dynasties, and the Ming Cult rebellion occurred frequently in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places in the Northern Song Dynasty. The most famous of them was the Fang La Uprising. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Ming Cult leader Wang Nianjing, and then the uprising led by Wang Nianjing. Therefore, the Song Dynasty court always regarded the Ming Cult as a confidant. If Chen Dexing had a relationship with the Ming Cult and colluded with the Ming Cult to assassinate a friendly prince and envoy, he would probably be dead!
Liu Xiaoyuan was immediately overjoyed: "Brother Haiyun has a way to let the people of the Demon Sect use it for me?"
"Of course there is a way!" Pu Shougeng smiled and made a gesture of counting money: "Money can make the devil push the mill!"
Although several major uprisings of the Ming Cult were suppressed, its sect did not perish. By the Southern Song Dynasty, it was still active in Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangnan and other places. In Quanzhou, Fujian, there were temples established by Ming Cultists. Pu Shougen, who was half the leader of Quanzhou, naturally had some relationship with the forces of the Ming Cult.
...
A few days later, a dusty cart was rumbling over the bustling streets of Lin'an Prefecture, turning into an inconspicuous alley and stopped.
At the entrance of the alley, there were a few men in ragged clothes standing lazily standing and squatting. At first glance, they were gangsters who were mixed with the gangsters and scooping the door. When the coachman saw them, he took out a bronze medal from his arms, waved it three times, and then compared it on his chest. The gangsters immediately jumped up and looked around with vigilance. At the same time, they did not forget to bow slightly and salute to the people in the car. One of them flew into the depths of the alley as if they were flying, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Two men were sitting in the car, namely Pu Shougeng, a wealthy merchant in Quanzhou, and Liu Xiaoyuan, a Mongolian Jiangnan Purchasing Order. Both characters were giants who were shaking their feet and shaking their feet. Now they were sitting in an inconspicuous carriage and arrived at such a dilapidated alley.
"Mr. Liu, I will not be convenient for me to come forward later. You can just go and see them yourself." Pu Shougen lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. He whispered, "It is better to be less provoked by these Ming Cult figures with my identity. If the Han government knew that I had contact with the Ming Cult, things would be difficult."
"But without you coming forward, can they believe me?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a frown.
"I have the sun and moon orders of the Ming Cult in Quanzhou. You can tell them as I teach you, and they will believe in you. Moreover, these Ming Cultists are all people who are afraid of the world's chaos. They will not be ashamed of reconciliation between the Southern Barbarians and the Mongolians."
Pu Shougeng mentioned the Ming Cult at this time, but he looked contempt and sneered: "These people are overestimating their abilities. They are thinking about what the Ming King was born and took them to conquer the country, and they are eager to be in chaos in the world. You just happened to join them as an envoy of Chen Dexing. As for the thunder, I will get it for you..."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted by the coachman, and Liu Xiaoyuan saw several gangsters guarding someone coming over vigilantly.
"Liu Xiucai, get off the car." The coachman reminded in a low voice.
Liu Xiaoyuan then withdrew his gaze and got out of the carriage as soon as he stood firm, he saw the gangsters coming to the front and dodged left and right. In the dim twilight, a woman wearing a light-discovered (a hat with a veil) appeared in front of him.
Under the cover of the shallow reveal, although the woman's appearance was not clearly visible, she could vaguely see that her facial features, eyebrows and eyes were very beautiful.
Her figure is also very slim, with a narrow-sleeved short jacket and a high-waisted long skirt, and her tall figure make her stand tall, like a fairy descending to earth, but she looks so inconsistent with a group of thugs dressed in gangsters.
Liu Xiaoyuan had never dealt with people from the world, and he didn't know much about mysterious sects like the Ming Cult. He didn't know what to call this woman when he saw her, but just looked at her.
The woman spoke, her voice was not as crisp and elegant as expected, and at the same time she had a sacred and inviolable taste: "The light is generally pure, and she is always happy and silent and unmoved. I am the daughter of the Ming father, Mo Yingniang, the envoy of light."
Liu Xiaoyuan quickly followed Pu Shougeng's instructions and presented a bronze plaque with the sun and moon marks with both hands, and muttered a word: "The place is solemn and pure, and all evils are not pure. In the lower part, Liu Xiaoyuan, a scholar in Lingnan, was a friend of Quanzhou."
The envoy of light or the envoy of the Ming Cult is naturally a great figure in the Ming Cult. The Ming Cult is a dualistic religion, that is, there are two main gods, one of the good gods, called the God of Light, the Great Ming, the Ming Father, etc.; the other of the evil god is called the Dark Demon King. In contrast to the theory that the Christian God created humans, the theory of the Ming Cult is that the Dark Demon King created humans, and the God of Light sent the envoy of light to save humans. Therefore, the leaders of the Ming Cult all call themselves the envoy of light, and some people call themselves the sons of the Ming Father (daughters), which has a bit of the meaning of the saints of the saints of the later generations of Jin Daxia, and the leader of the Ming Cult is not only a saint.
In fact, Mani, the founder of the Ming Cult, was a man, and the religious leaders of the Ming Cult in Central Asia and Europe were also men. However, in the organization with Chinese characteristics, there were some female religious leaders, most of whom were also the wives, concubines or daughters of male leaders. Western Manichae priests prohibited marriage, but the Ming Cult in China did not abide by this rule.
In addition, the Ming Cult in China and the White Lotus Sect, which later developed from the integration of Ming Cult and Buddhist Pure Land Sect, are rebel religions with a strong fighting spirit. This is completely different from the situation of Ming Cult in the West and Central Asia. There has never been a Ming Cult in the West, and only the Ming Cult and its derivative sect (Christian Purity Sect) were bloody suppression.
It can be said that the Ming Cult in China and Manichaeism in the West are already two completely different religions at this time.
The woman who claimed to be the envoy of light Mo Yingniang took the bronze medal handed over by Liu Xiaoyuan and looked at it: "It's the Sun and Moon Order, you are the friend of Fang Ming's envoy, come with me."
The woman turned around and led Liu Xiaoyuan into a broken yard. The yard was decorated with debris, the light was dark, and the smell of sweat and coarse sour wine that the strong man had in Tmall all over the place. Liu Xiaoyuan, who had always liked to be clean, couldn't help but suck his nose.
The main hall door on the bottom floor of a three-story building facing the courtyard gate was open, and a woman named Mo Yingniang led Liu Xiaoyuan in. Liu Xiaoyuan found that this was a Buddhist temple - to be precise, the Mingzun Hall, and the god worshipped inside seemed to be a Buddha statue, the Damingzun Zun.
The gangsters were all guarding outside the door. In the dark Mingzun Hall, there were only Liu Xiaoyuan and Mo Yingniang.
"Liu Xiucai, what is the so-called thing when I come to Wuming Zuntang today? Should I join the gang or do things?" Mo Yingniang asked in a low voice.
Liu Xiaoyuan crossed his hands and smiled, "I'm going to hide it from it. I'm the friend of Taiwei Chen, the commander of the Pili Navy in front of the Imperial Palace. Today I was entrusted by him."
"But Chen Dexing?" Qian Lu's face covered by her was a little surprised.
"That's right." Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and took out a stack of salt tea tips and presented them with both hands. "Mo Ming Envoy, this is the only wish of my Grand Marshal. I accept it with a smile."
The Song Dynasty implemented a specialty for salt tea. The salt tea introduction was to purchase receipts for salt tea from the official salt tea business. The value was much higher than that of Huizi, so it was often used as a tool for large-scale payment. The same function was also the monk and Taoist sacrificial certificate. The number of non-divide certificates was rare and easy to trace the source. Unlike the salt tea introductions, there were many salt tea introductions, so it was impossible to trace where they came from. Therefore, Pu Shougen prepared a salt tea introduction worth 3,000 guan of copper for Liu Xiaoyuan.
"A little intention?" The female envoy of light sneered and gently stroked a thick stack of salt tea introductions. "This intention is probably worth two or three thousand guan of copper? Liu Xiucai, please tell me clearly, what kind of work should we do in the Ming Cult? Kill real gold or Hao Jing?"
"Everyone must be killed! After the matter is completed, you will get 6,000 guan."
"These salt tea tips are not enough!" Mo Yingniang's tone became cold, "Hao Jing lives in the Ministry of Rites' Courtyard. The people from the Imperial City Envoy's Office will stay for about twelve hours a day, and they can't even get in!"
"Enough!" Liu Xiaoyuan smiled confidently, "Because your people don't have to sneak into the concierge courtyard, they just need to start on the street outside the concierge courtyard... and your people don't need to fight with the soldiers of the Imperial City Envoy."
"How can I kill if I don't fight? Will those soldiers watch our people take the lives of real gold and Hao Jing?"
"Use heavenly thunder, a whole carriage of heavenly thunder!"
"Okay!" Mo Yingniang suddenly made a deep voice: "But I don't believe that you and Chen Dexing are friends..."
Liu Xiaoyuan laughed and said, "Will Mo Mingzhi believe that... Can Mo Mingzhi recognize Taiwei Chen?"
Mo Yingniang nodded slightly, "I just saw it from afar."
