Chapter 48 Chapter Forty-eight

The huge cross that bound the statue of Jesus was placed horizontally in the middle of the market. Both the cross and the statue of Jesus were covered in feces, and the stench was suffocating.The believers were like a flock of sheep, driven by the shepherds of the government. They stepped over the cross and the statue of Jesus one by one to show their determination to make a clean break with the cult. Pastor John Lee and Mr. Jackson were also brought here by the tolerance of the county government—whether they like it or not, the government of the Qing Dynasty will let them see the end of Jesus in the heaven with their own eyes, so that they have since stopped bringing the cult Enter the dream of heaven!

This idea was conceived by Mr. Boqin Ruobai, the magistrate of Jinkou County.On the third day after Ling Chi beheaded eighty-three bandits including Ruan Dacheng and Du Tianxing, Mr. Bai remembered the question of how to deal with foreign hairy John Li, Jackson and the people of the cult.Mr. Bo is kind and soft.He didn't want to kill any more. He didn't invoke the 20th year of Jiaqing's rule of punishing Pastor Lan Yuewang, and reported to the court John Li and Jackson, who were bewitched by the cult, to be beheaded.He went to the governor's office in person, met with Yu Lianrong, the master of Futai, reported the details of the cult case one by one, and finally proposed a peaceful plan: make the cult members who have gone astray repent and refuse to deal with it, and the cult culprits John Lee and Jackson will be expelled. Go out of the country to eliminate the source of heresy.Master Yu appreciated this plan very much, and he allowed it to be implemented.Mr. Yu also suffered unspeakably. In the prefectures and counties under his rule, there were frequent bandits and riots in half a year, which disturbed the capital and the court again and again. ?If Parkin knew what was on his mind and was willing to calm down, he would naturally be willing to calm down.

Thus, there was a scene of Jesus being humiliated in the holy place of the heavenly pilgrimage. This scene not only reflected the generosity of the Chinese government, but also reflected the dignity of the Chinese government. In order to deeply embed this supreme dignity in the memory of the foreign men and the cult members, Mr. Bochen Ruobai dressed in official uniform and visited the stinky market in person to monitor the mission of abandoning the cult. ceremony. Mr. Bai endured the unpleasant stench, and sat beside the cross covered with yellow dung, with a majestic face and a whole body of righteousness, like a god statue made by the heavenly dynasty.Standing beside him were seven or eight office servants, all of them raised their eyebrows and raised their eyebrows, as if they were vicious gods.John Lee and Jackson, the bastards, were twisted by several tolerances, kneeling on the other side of the cross, their heads with shaggy yellow hair hanging down, almost touching the ground.To the west of the market, a hundred or so terrified members of the cult stood with their chests against their backs, their heads bowed, as if quietly praying their last prayers.To the east of the market, the servants of the Tolerance Office circled a clean open space, waiting to accept the obedient citizens of the Celestial Dynasty who had abandoned the cult.

In Qingpu Town, the alleys were empty, and the spectators were as grand as the beheading Lingchi on October 18. The two ends of the market and the shops, roofs, and trees on both sides of the market were crowded, squatting, and hanging. The scene is prosperous, warm and solemn. In the distance, several gongs were ringing, and three or four hoarse voices with different timbres shouted there, and the voices one after another, high and low, spread to the venue: "Everyone, young and old, come and see, the government has destroyed evil for our Qingpu Fengshui treasure!" "Boom! Boom!"

"Look quickly! Look quickly! The Fanyang demon was caught by me towards Tianshi Zhang." "Boom! Boom!" "Look at Li Yuehan, Zhan Bude pleading guilty and subjugating the law, and watching the two foreigners stepping on the magic body building!" "Boom! Boom!" ... The weather is fine.The autumn sun hangs lazily in the sky above the top, and the sound of the gong of justice makes the lazy sun tremble.Without wind, the stench emanating from Jesus could not spread farther away, and the spectators and government officials could only smell the stench and perform their sacred duties.

After the majestic atmosphere was created, the ceremony began. The first person to go to the cross and challenge the statue of Jesus was Mr. Mo Yide, the shadow of the righteous people of heaven.Although Mo Yide voluntarily gave up his belief in the cult a few years ago, when he heard that the government was going to attack the demons of the cult, he still participated enthusiastically.He wants to prove his loyalty to the government again, so as to make up for the lost trust in his righteous wife Li Xiangyu.It was hard for him to win the first place.After being escorted to the market by the yamen servants, he boldly disrupted the order of the team, forced himself from the middle of the team to the head of the team, and stood in front of all the cult believers.The tolerance guards on both sides of the team didn't understand his loyalty. A guy with a pair of triangular eyes saw him huddling in the crowd and punched him twice. He didn't care about that nasty guy. Decide that guy is shallow and ignorant.

When he walked towards the statue of Jesus, he didn't have a trace of shame or guilt. The courage bestowed on him by the government gave him a good feeling. He even thought that he was not in his personal capacity, but represented the government and the entire Qing court. revenge on Jesus.He believed that Jesus was the enemy of the government and the court, and the enemy of the government and the court was also his Mo Yide's enemy!The government and the court have always been infallible. The buttocks that had been scolded hadn't healed yet, and when he moved his feet, the cloth that wrapped his buttocks and thighs rubbed against the wounds unfriendly, which was very painful.He endured it.He tried his best not to let the pain on his butt creep up on his face, tried his best to put on a relaxed and natural appearance, and walked towards the hateful Jesus step by step. Standing tall, he stared at the statue of Jesus lying on the ground with hatred in his eyes, and the fierce light representing the heavenly dynasty radiated from the pupils of his eyes.

When he stepped onto the statue of Jesus, the smelly excrement nearly slipped him.He staggered, stepped on the chest of the Jesus statue with one foot, and supported the ground with the other foot, and looked at the face of Mr. Bai sitting beside him involuntarily.He saw a trace of displeasure on Mr. Bai's face, so he had the desire to step on it again. He backed away again, coughing dryly, trying to remind Mr. Bai of his second loyalty. Mr. Bai obviously noticed his loyalty, and his stern eyes pierced into his flesh like a nail. He stepped on the bottom of the cross, stepping from the feet of the statue of Jesus to the chest and head little by little.After he stomped hard on the head of Jesus, he entered the clean place of the obedient people in the heavenly court with a stinky body and feces on his trouser legs.

The congregants who lined up behind Mr. Shadow stepped onto the statue of Jesus one by one.Some of them stepped on bravely; some stepped on timidly;Eighty or ninety people stepped on it, and all the excrement painted on the statue of Jesus was transferred to the feet of the Shunliang of the Qing Dynasty, and a foul smell began to emanate from the clean ground belonging to the Celestial Dynasty. There are more and more obedient citizens on the heavenly land. However, there are still more than a dozen hopeless believers on the demon's territory, weeping and hesitating. No matter how much they are reprimanded by the clerks, they refuse to approach the cross.Among the dozen or so believers, there were actually three women!

Mr. Bai, who had been silent all this time, couldn't stand it any longer. He stood up from his chair and coldly advised: "Didn't you repent and swear that you will never believe in cults? Why are you so miserable? Don't you want to go back on your word? If you want to go back on your word, the county will never force you, and you will all be arrested and sent back to the county government for additional punishment ! Left and right, get people from this county!" This "take someone" immediately convinced all the believers, and another seven or eight people stepped on the statue of Jesus.They stepped lightly and quickly, as if swallows were drinking water. Master Bai looked extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't let them repeat this sacred ceremony.

Mr. Bo is magnanimous after all. The last person to step on the statue of Jesus was a woman about forty years old.This woman's appearance is not outstanding, she has a flat face, a big mouth, and a wide chin, but her evil heart is outstanding.Her hair was disheveled, and she was crying like a demon. Tears kept falling from her cheeks like raindrops, and wet her embroidered shoes and silk skirt.She refused to step on Jesus Christ, and she refused to step on it even though the servants threatened her with knives. Mr. Bo is unwilling to take her into a big prison and punish her for her crimes.What adults need is not to imprison people, but to perfectly reflect the majesty and dignity of the Qing Dynasty.He couldn't leave any regrets to the dignity of the Celestial Dynasty just because of an insignificant woman. Mr. Bai stood up again, and said to the woman: "What good did the cult bring you! It made you so obstinate, a woman? An evil book made it clear that the demon Jesus is the evil god of the Western Jewish barbarians. What do you have to do with the subjects of my celestial dynasty? My celestial dynasty is the center of the world, the first state of all nations; my celestial dynasty is perfect in etiquette and justice, and has a long history; my celestial people are descendants of Yan and Huang, passed down from generation to generation, and are immortal, so why do they need the protection of that evil magic?" The woman just wept and did not answer. Mr. Bai said sincerely and touchingly: "Seeing you are so obstinate, this county thinks of a righteous woman. This righteous woman is also from Qingpu, her name is Li Xiangyu. She sells herself to be a filial piety, advocates etiquette and righteousness, and would rather starve to death than rebel against the court." If you don’t destroy the three obediences and four virtues, this county really admires you! If you exchange this infatuation of believing in a cult with a loyal, filial piety and righteousness, you will definitely become a model for future generations like that righteous woman Li Xiangyu.” Seeing that the woman remained silent, Mr. Bai said again: "Go quickly, the government will not make things difficult for you! Everything the county has done today is to save you and make you come back from the wrong way, nothing else. Meaning. If you keep resisting, the county will have to follow the law and punish you, but the county really doesn't want to do that!" I don't know whether Master Bai's sincere statement moved her, or the threat of being punished according to the law moved her. Finally, she tremblingly moved the three-inch nasturtium, and walked timidly towards the cross and the statue of Jesus. When the three-inch golden lotus stepped on the statue of Jesus, she felt soft and soft under her feet, as if the body of Jesus was not made of wood, but made of coagulated flesh and blood.She saw the pained face of Jesus tilted to one side, she saw Jesus opened his eyes, his eyelids were moving, his eyes full of wisdom were like two bright stars, and suddenly, the two stars became two There was a dazzling sun, and the sun was so radiant that it made her tremble all over.She was stunned, and wanted to quickly step over his head, but when one of her feet fell to the ground, Jesus struggled on the cross.She heard Jesus saying in a desolate voice: "I will punish you with fire, with the sword, with the plague, with the sea, with the collapse of the sky! I will make this barbaric land in the east before the end of the world comes." , first sink into eternal hell! Those who do not honor my name, those who insult my holy body, I will nail you to the pillar of shame, so that you will never be forgiven..." The sound was like a bell, like thunder, and it rang in her ears. She was so frightened that she yelled and danced, and then, she fell to the feet of a tolerance, foamed at the mouth and passed out. The ceremony ended in a slightly sad atmosphere. Without exception, the cult members in Qingpu became obedient citizens of the Qing Dynasty. In the end, Mr. Boqin Ruobai told the Qingpu obedient people gathered around in a calm voice about the holy wisdom of the Holy Master, the integrity of the government, and the greatness and perfection of the ancient oriental civilization tradition. Don't pursue it, but, if anyone dares to bring the Fanyang cult into Qingpu and Jinkou again, and anyone who dares to enter the demon gate again, the Jinkou government will never forgive them, and they will all follow the regulations of the seventh year of Yongzheng and follow the "law of cults to confuse the public" Punishment. Bo Qinruo ordered the two foreigners from England to be taken to Linjiang Mansion, and Linjiang Mansion issued a proclamation to deport them. Unexpectedly, when the two yamen servants picked up Li Yuehan who was kneeling on the ground, they found that Li Yuehan was dead...
