Chapter 86 Like every three autumns

The night snow in Loulan, the private room.

Chen Shou smiled and drank with Bayitash. He found that the Karakhan was very interesting. First of all, he was extremely conceited and even refused to allow his slaves to touch him.

There was a female slave who touched his clothes while pouring wine, and the guy got up and changed it.

The second is that he has a little inferiority complex, which is reflected in the complexity of his love and hatred for Han culture.

He likes poetry, songs and essays very much, and he works hard to learn Chinese. His authentic Kaifeng dialect is more authentic than Chen Shou said. However, he never wears Hanfu, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation are the same as before. He is actually very young, but he has a big beard and looks particularly mature.

He called Chen Shou, and never called him an adult or a marquis, but just said "my friend".

Chen Shou knew this very well. This was a proud person of the prince and refused to be inferior to others.

Chen Shou valued his wealth and was very pragmatic, and did not use false tricks, which made people feel very relieved.

He had already been honest and had made Chen Shou a close friend to help him regain the throne one day.

Chen Shou bluntly treated him as a wallet, and came to take some from time to time to provide increasingly large expenses.

Bayitash is a good player in making money. Among so many Hu merchants in Bianliang, his shops are the fastest.

"My friend, are you arresting the White Lotus Sect in Bianliang? Should you really seize the cult or take the opportunity to cut off the enemy?"

"Why do you ask this?" Chen Shou was a little surprised. His question was a little abrupt, not in line with the character of this little green prince.

Bayitash smiled and said, "Because of your actions, my business here is getting worse and worse. Those who can come to Loulan for night snow are either rich or noble. I have fewer customers, which means you have arrested a large number of officials and wealthy businessmen."

Chen Shou laughed, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said sincerely: "You have both, don't take it lightly. This White Lotus Sect is like a small ants that can drill holes. There is no place they can't penetrate."

"These Buddhists are like fat lambs, the most cowardly. You think the White Lotus Sect is difficult to deal with, because your methods are not powerful enough. After we destroyed the Kingdom of Khotan, we burned all their temples. Every time we caught a monk, they would tie him to the downtown area to burn him to death. If anyone believes in Buddhism, we would peel his skin, make a skull into a wine vessel, and make a torch into a ties, and tie their wives and daughters to the market for sale. In the past three years, if you dig three feet into the ground, you would not find a Buddha statue."

Chen Shou felt his scalp numb when he heard this. These ruthless people who rode camels and wore white scarves on their heads, and came out of the desert were indeed very good. At least, the point of being harsh and vicious in his hands was incomparable to other races and religions.

If I learn from them, let alone destroying the White Lotus Sect, I will definitely die without a place to bury it, and it will be infatuated for thousands of years.

In the past few years, no one has been able to occupy a high position for a long time by relying on this method and not being overthrown.

The Central Plains cannot be suppressed by anyone who is cruel. If you want to rule the Central Plains, you must have a good reputation. Even if you have no bottom line in doing things, you must do your superficial work well, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

This is a sense of morality, crushing any other similar race, and it is not comparable to the barbarians.

The two of them drank a few glasses of wine and talked for a while. Chen Shou was about to move when suddenly a noise broke out in the distance. The two turned their heads and looked at them, and a red light rose from the sky of the Yu Street, and then someone shouted: "It's time to go out! It's time to go out!"

Chen Shou felt a sudden strife. Bianliang was densely populated, and the buildings in the city were large and mostly made of wooden structures. Once a fire occurred, the losses would probably be amazing.

The fire burned very quickly, but in just a moment, half of the sky was reflected red by the fire. Chen Shou said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I can't stay for a long time today, Zhao Hong, prepare for the horse!"

Zhang Zhengyuan's imperial guard camp was the first to be hit, and the fire had spread.

A military officer rushed in, and knelt on one knee without any worries about Guan's refusal and said, "Report to General! The fire broke out in the city, and the fire broke out from the Jinliang Bridge, and the wind spread across three sides, which had spread nearly ten miles..."

"The city will be inspected and dealt with by the fire in the city." Zhang Zhengyuan interrupted him, "Previous inspections in each room, and the soldiers from each shop are setting up to prevent fire, so why should we report it?"

"But no one put out the fire!" The military officer shouted: "And some people took the opportunity to rob the store, making the situation even more difficult to control."

The fire rose from the north, and the fire was extremely fierce with the wind. Although it was still far from the camp, you could feel the heat of the flames.

Zhang Zhengyuan sighed and said, "Come here, follow me to put out the fire!"

Chen Shou rode his horse to come, feeling a little uncertain whether the fire was not very fire or whether someone deliberately set fire.

In the past few days, I have suppressed the White Lotus Sect, which is like peeling silk and pulling out cocoons, and has attracted many disciples.

Perhaps it was the White Lotus Sect who deliberately set fires to divert attention. After the fire, they were able to sell their own theory and develop believers.

When he arrived at the bridge, he saw that the fire had caught only half an hour, and the area of ​​the fire had exceeded ten miles. The countless pavilions and pavilions turned into ruins under the flames, and the air was filled with burnt breath. The sky seemed to be eaten by the flames, and half of the sky was burned red.

Outside the fire scene, countless soldiers ran around, drawing water from the Bian River to put out the fire, and more people who were affected to escape from the fire with the elderly and the young, crying shook the sky.

A few rogues took the opportunity to grab finances, touch women, and play in the crowd. Chen Shou was angry when he saw it. He was about to speak, but he saw a military officer dressed as a gangster, holding a knife forward and grabbing a idle man, chopping off his head on the spot, and holding it in his hand bloodily.

After a while, he stood on a high place with three heads in his arms and shouted loudly: "The general has an order. Those who retreat and avoid fire will be killed! Those who take advantage of the fire will be killed! All firefighters, regardless of the military and civilians, will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and those who are brave enough to extinguish fire will be rewarded with twenty taels!"

His voice was extremely loud, and his hands were carrying three bloody heads, which were very visually impactful, which attracted everyone's attention.

The general shouted three times in a row. The imperial guards had already raised several boxes of silver, putting their heads together with the silver.

Zhang Zhengyuan ordered the soldiers to start demolishing the houses and isolating the fire source.

Soon, the fire was slowly extinguished, leaving only some places with thick smoke still emitting.

Chen Shou did not go in and watched Zhang Zhengyuan command the fire to put out the fire from the outside, and couldn't help but nod.

The new imperial guards, led by this person, are very different from the previous imperial guards. You should know that there are many people here who are from the old imperial guards and are re-enlisted by Zhang Zhengyuan and have not had time to practice.

A soldier is a crotch and a general is a crotch. The original march is not good, and it is the result of the persecution of the top generals for generations.

The new imperial guards are growing today, and sooner or later they will be a heavy weight in their hands.

Chen Shou turned around and said to Zhang He: "Go and tell Zhang Zhengyuan and ask him to pay the silver reward today as much as possible, and then make a bill to get the money from Jinyuwei!"

Zhang He coughed lightly, his face was a little strange, and he said, "Sir, you forgot that we just checked the accounts from the Jinyuwei yesterday and there was not much money."

"There is still this?" Chen Shou turned his horse's head and said, "Go back to Loulan Yexue."

Chen Shou returned and Baitash asked, "My friend, why are you back so soon?"

"Hahaha, haha, I'm really sorry, I miss you."

"Didn't we parted just now?"
