Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

Three miles away from Yaowang Temple, two parties are gathering. One party is led by Gan'er, assisted by Jingtian Dao and Sanhuanghui, and there are about one hundred and fifty people. The other party is led by Wuwei Sect, supplemented by Great Buddhism, with a total of about one hundred and fifty people.

There were one hundred and eighty people.

As time went by, the number of people on both sides increased sharply, the gap in numbers narrowed, and there was a tendency for Gan'er to overtake them.

But the two parties neither looked like they were going to take action, nor did they have the intention to communicate, as if they were waiting for something.

Another half an hour passed, and the number of people on both sides was close to two hundred. At this time, more than fifty people walked out of Yaowang Temple, including Zhang Jiebin and Li Yingshi. At the same time, more than forty people walked out of the village, including Chen Jisheng.

.

People from all directions walked towards the short pavilion in unison. About ten people entered the pavilion first, while the rest kept a distance of more than ten feet.

Zhang Jiebin and Li Yingshi also entered the pavilion, while Chen Jisheng stayed outside the pavilion.

"Li Feng, a young student, was promoted as an upright person by the villagers. I have met all the leaders. The King of Medicine Temple Fair is coming soon. I wonder why all the leaders are here?"

Nanguan Li Feng Li Feng said, although he has the smallest power among the four parties, his status as a Li Zheng can reach the imperial court and the countryside, so he is not afraid of the other three parties.

"I have met Mr. Li Zheng. Lin has only been away for a few months. It seems that there are differences in the rules of Qizhou territory, so I came here to inquire." Lin Xi saluted and said hello, and explained his purpose of coming. He was a representative selected by thousands of medicine dealers in Yaowang Temple.

Gan'ertou also said: "I just learned the news that the White Lotus Sect and the Great Buddhism are out in force. I will lead my brothers to come and have a look."

The Holy Mother smiled and said: "Zhang Gangtou and Gang Leader Lin are in the border area of ​​Nanguan, so they naturally have to show their respect to Li Zheng. I am not from Nanguan. I don't need to report to Li Zheng where I am going, right?"

Li Feng laughed and said, "You don't need to tell me where Mrs. Luo is going, but..."

Speaking of this, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and Dian Shi rushed over with ten horses. It turned out that when Li Feng learned the news, he immediately sent people to the city to report it, and he also found that he had already summoned people, but he saw that both sides were okay

He restrained himself and didn't come out until Gang Leader Lin came with the medicine dealer's escort.

Li Feng waited for so long just to wait for Dian Shi to come.

Since the army camp was abandoned decades ago, the three guards of Qizhou were disbanded on the spot, and the number of thousands of civilians has been decreasing year by year. So far, only thirty-five people have been retained. In the entire Qizhou, there are only the patrol officer and his ten horses.

Fast, twenty people are fast on foot, two inspectors are fast on catching stolen horses.

The Dianshi who has arrived now is the patrol officer. The duties of the patrol officer correspond to the county captain in the Qin and Han Dynasties. However, in the Ming Dynasty, there was no county captain, nor was there another patrol officer position. The patrol officer generally consisted of the county magistrate, who was in charge of Bohe.

Both classics and history.

After the Jiajing period, it became a habit for Dian Shi to concurrently serve as a patrol officer. This also led to changes in Dian Shi's responsibilities. He was originally a civil servant responsible for collecting and sending documents, files, and records, but became a military attache responsible for grain and horse management and catching theft.

Therefore, Dianshi also became the de facto county captain. More than fifty years later, Dianshi Yan Yingyuan stayed in Jiangyin for eighty days, making the position of Dianshi known to the world and leaving his name in Qingshi.

The arrival of Dian Shi made the Holy Mother cautious, which meant the intervention of the imperial power. Although the Wuwei Sect was called the White Lotus Sect among the people, it was not the real White Lotus Sect.

The biggest difference is that the White Lotus Sect is an illegal organization, while the Wuwei Sect is a legal organization recognized by the imperial court. Fifty years ago, the founder of the Wuwei Sect, Luo Zu, presented "Luo Zu's Five Sutras" to the Jiajing Emperor, and even received the Jiajing Emperor's

of approval.

Its momentum even surpassed that of the Confucian Wang Yangming and the Taoist Shao Yuanjie of the same period.

Just as Confucian orthodoxy does not recognize the Xinxue, Buddhism does not recognize the Wuwei teaching, and denounces the Wuwei teaching as a false Taoist cult, calling on orthodox Buddhists to attack it. As the influence of the Wuwei teaching expands in various places, Buddhism's counterattacks are also increasing.

Strengthened, Wuwei Sect eventually met the same fate as White Lotus Sect.

But unlike the White Lotus Sect, which instigates rebellion, the Wuwei Sect rarely riots. It only secretly spreads Luozu's teachings. In the end, Luozu's teachings almost unified China's secret religions and became a folk secret teaching comparable to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

And this transformation happened around the fifteenth year of Wanli. The rise of the fourth stream of folk teachings besides Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and the second coming of Catholicism from the east, would both explode in the Wanli period.

"Master Dianshi, you are finally here, and I can finally let go of my hanging heart." When Li Feng saw Dianshi's arrival, he let go of his worried heart.

Dianshi nodded to him, without dismounting, and shouted to the crowd: "What do you want from the illegal gathering?"

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly wanted to explain.

Dian Shi interrupted and said: "I don't care what you have done before. As long as I am here, I cannot allow you to do whatever you want."

Everyone felt awe in their hearts. Zhang Jiebin felt this familiar smell and felt happy in his heart. There is no doubt that this classic must have been born as a soldier.

"Zhao Dianshi, the daughter of the people came here for no other reason. She just wanted to discuss with the leaders about settling in each town. The twelve towns in Qizhou are all controlled by the gangsters. Isn't it too ugly to eat like this?

"The Holy Mother bowed and slowly stated her intention.

The old monk secretly cursed in his heart that he changed his words too quickly. That was not what he said before. But he did not dare to refute. Dian Shi's power and the powerful force of Wuwei Sect were not something he, a great Buddhist, could deal with.

Dianshi didn't say anything, just looked at Gan'er, and Zhang said: "As we all know, we Gan'er are just a group of beggars. How can we beg for food if we are not in the town? Since the old and young men appreciate the food, I will wait for Gan'er.

I risk my life to protect the stability of this place. I hope you will see clearly that we are not trying to bully and dominate the market, nor do we care about power."

The blind old man also said: "Thanks to everyone's care, we, the blind man, can struggle to survive in various places, but a blind man is a blind man after all. Working together and helping each other can always save others trouble. If you say that a blind man bullies others, I will be the first to refuse."

Gang leader Lin smiled and said: "We are all a group of merchants, we can't say we have any influence. We just get together to do business, share boats, shops, and guys. Although we have some guards, we are not here to fight..."

Li Feng also spoke for them: "Lord Dian Shi clearly knows that since the opening of the market in Qizhou, we have relied heavily on the power of various gangs to reach its current scale."

Dian Shi still didn't speak, but just looked at each one. This condescending aura suppressed all the leaders. There was no one younger than him in the room, but with the official title, he still suppressed all the big bosses.

Just as Zhang Jiebin was about to stand up and ease the atmosphere, Li Yingzhi grabbed him and shook his head gently. After Zhang Jiebin thought for a while, he suddenly woke up and gave up the idea.

Dianshi also noticed the two people's movements, but ignored them.
