Chapter two hundred and twenty nine eat a meal
To figure out the situation in Tianjin, Xu Bai of course pointed more than just Wang Jinsong.
He sent some of the people he brought, wandering around the streets and alleys every day, and bringing a lot of news from the open and secrets every day. With such news, with Wang Jinsong's news, the general situation will be clear.
The situation was even worse than he thought.
The White Lotus Sect in Tianjin is not only rampant, it is already blatant, and what is even more ridiculous is that it has almost become a Feng Shui treasure land for the various churches of the White Lotus Sect to develop believers. In this city, there is no need to inquire specifically, Xu Bai's subordinates found out that at least three churches of the White Lotus Sect opened here.
As far as the Yongle period, there were demons from the White Lotus Sect gathering people to rebel on the Changping line of Shuntian Prefecture. In the Jingtai period, there was also a case near the Jingxi period that the White Lotus Sect gathered to "swear blood to heaven, and want to make trouble" around the capital. Not to mention that after the Jingnan Dynasty, the Shandong White Lotus Sect, led by Tang Sai'er, gathered tens of thousands of people to occupy the prefecture to rebel. Although these rebellions were soon put down by the imperial court, the White Lotus Sect was like the inexhaustible weeds. Even if there was no grass growing at that time, once the conditions were suitable, they began to sprout again.
In Tianjin, it was obviously regarded as a Feng Shui treasure land by all the White Lotus Sects, so they all started to emerge here again.
The White Lotus Sect is not a sect that is strictly organized. Under repeated suppression by the court, they have been transformed and created various sects that follow similar doctrines, such as Luo Zu, Namo, Jingkong, Wuwei, Wuming, etc., which are all branch sects evolved from the name of the White Lotus. What is ridiculous is that some White Lotus Sect members have been developed into the religion, and even developed others into the religion. From beginning to end, they did not know that they were admitted to the White Lotus Sect.
In Tianjin City, Luo Zu Sect, Wuwei Sect and Wuming Sect are the halls of the three largest White Lotus Sects. In order to develop the religious crowd, these three sects have done their best and are unscrupulous, and even have some disputes between them that are unspeakable.
It turns out that Xu Bai, who came to Tianjin, was full of confidence. The more he knew, the less he dared to act rashly. This was not a simple issue of sending people to arrest dozens of White Lotus Sects. There were many people in Tianjin who had all their families. This means that among the three guards in Tianjin, many soldiers and officers were probably from this White Lotus Sect. Tianjin City was like a gunpowder barrel that could explode at any time. If he did not deal with it well, he was afraid that the gunpowder barrel would explode immediately and everyone in the world was shocked.
In the name of "training troops", Chen Taizhong brought some soldiers from the Tengxiang Guards to Jinghai County, which is not far from Tianjin City. They will wait for Xu Bai's orders at any time to assist Xu Bai in handling this case. However, the situation has become more complicated. If the more than a thousand soldiers picked out by the Tengxiang Guards are really not enough to face the troops of the Tianjin Guards who may run wild at any time.
This is Xu Bai's trump card. Near Tianjin, he can't find any other powers that can be relied on except this group of people. Apart from Chen Taizhong, there are only dozens of people around him. Once something happens, he can really rely on, but I'm afraid that only these dozens of people are there.
He didn't even know if the commanders of the Three Guards of Tianjin had anything to do with these White Lotus Sects, or the people of the White Lotus Sect had already pulled them into the water, otherwise, there would be no explanation why Tianjin has become the kingly paradise of the White Lotus Sect.
Since Wang Jinsong handed over the information he found to Xu Bai, he has been waiting for Xu Bai's orders. He was actually very curious. This young commander said that he wanted to make a good show for him and the people of Tianjin to see when the good show he said would open.
More than ten days passed in a flash. Xu Bai spent most of his time staying at the Sihai Commercial Bank. He occasionally walked on the Caoyun Wharf, and even went to Furong Tower several times alone. He was so leisurely that he seemed to be on vacation here, and he seemed to have forgotten that he was here to investigate the case.
Wang Jinsong came to the house several times, and Xu Bai stopped talking about this. The topics he talked to was also about Yu Qian's subordinates back then, including those who were promoted, those who had retired from the army or returned to the country, and those who are still in the army or in various places.
After going there a few times, Wang Jinsong felt much more relaxed. He felt that the young commander would not have any idea of doing things. He must have considered his own news and the information he had found, and then gave up the case here. If it were him, Wang Jinsong, after he really learned how messy the stall was, he was also a little numb. Whoever wanted to poke such a hornet's nest was, he wouldn't want to poke anyway.
A few days later, Xu Bai actually asked Wang Jinsong to be his guide and take him to visit Tianjin City. Wang Jinsong completely felt that this matter was gone. It was probably because the young man was too full of words and walked around Tianjin City. It was a formality, and then he went back and handed over the job.
Anyway, he asked himself that he was doing his best in this matter. He had done so much, so he didn't think there was anything to visit in Tianjin.
"The Dharma Assembly, let's go to see the Dharma Assembly today!"
Xu Bai said with a smile: "Early in the morning, three groups of people came over here at the dock. They said that there was a Dharma Assembly in the city today. The master asked Lao Zu Luo Cheng to show his saints. How could he not get together with such a lively atmosphere!"
"You really believe this!" Wang Jinsong was speechless. There were always a few times in the city every month. He just wanted to make some tricks of the world, pretending to be a god and fooling the ignorant people, and then blessing, donating money, and joining the sect. He could recite this set of things with his eyes closed.
"Today this is different!" Xu Bai said seriously: "It is said that he is specially praying for good people from the capital. Everyone who goes to the Dharma Assembly will have a meal, and there is meat and fish!"
He smiled and said, "I have eaten a lot of delicacies in this mountain, but I have never tasted the meat fish in this Dharma Assembly. I have so many brothers here, and I can spend a lot of money every day. If you can save one meal, we must go and get it!"
"It's just a meal?" Wang Jinsong looked at the young master in front of him with some suspicion: "If you want to arrest the demon who presided over the Dharma Assembly, you must tell me. The big scene of hundreds or thousands of people, I'm afraid that this little man of my subordinates will not be able to suppress it!"
"Don't worry, I'll just have a meal!" Xu Bai smiled and comforted Wang Jinsong: "I'll leave in a few days. Many of my brothers have not entered the city yet. If you don't go there, wouldn't it be a waste of time for Tianjin!"
