Chapter 53: Exposing the Taiping Sect

  Qin Feng promised to help Hua Tuo build a medical college, fulfilling Hua Tuo's wish to hang his medicine bag and save the world. Hua Tuo agreed to stay, and Qin Feng ordered Zhou Shan to take out funds to establish the predecessor of the medical college in Yiyongzhuang, recruiting scholars from Luoyang to learn medical skills, and teaching them some Western emergency rescue theories he knew.

  This is just like Huangpu, Kangda. When the time comes to fight, they will be mobilized and become ready-made military doctors. Huangpu! Hmm... Qin Feng thought that during the late Shu Han period, talents were scarce, so setting up a Huangpu was not a bad choice. However, he also knew it wasn't the right time yet, and they had to wait until the world was in chaos before doing so.

  "How come the world is still not in chaos? It's already January..." Qin Feng thought to himself as he sipped his tea from a small bowl.

  "What chaos is this!" The serving girl Yue'er was shocked.

  "Hehe, just joking." Qin Feng hastily covered up.

  The master has been acting strangely lately, is the world really going to be in chaos? Moon is more trusting of herself than Qin Feng, but she just thought about it for a moment. Serving the master well is the most important thing, hehe... This phrase was learned from the master, and it's quite vivid.

  It's already January and there's no news, February is the premature uprising, could it be that Grandpa has traveled through time to change history? That guy didn't report it? Qin Feng had read through the Three Kingdoms script, of course he knew about the Yellow Turbans being captured in Luoyang, forcing Zhang Jiao to take action prematurely. It's just that there were some unexpected details that he wasn't aware of.

  Historically, one month before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, a disciple named Tang Zhou betrayed Zhang Jue and exposed the insider in the capital, Ma Yuanyi. Ma Yuanyi was executed by being torn apart by carts, and government troops killed thousands of Taiping Dao believers, including over a thousand people implicated in the case, and ordered the pursuit of Zhang Jue in Ji Province. Due to the sudden turn of events, Zhang Jue was forced to launch the rebellion one month ahead of schedule in February, with all his followers wearing yellow headscarves, hence the name Yellow Turban Rebellion or Yellow Turban Uprising. Zhang Jue called himself "Heavenly General", while Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were respectively known as "Earthly General" and "Human General". They started an uprising in northern Ji Province, burning down government offices, killing officials and soldiers, and plundering everywhere. Within a month, wars broke out in seven states and twenty-eight counties across the country, with the Yellow Turban Army advancing like a hot knife through butter, causing state and county governments to collapse and officials to flee, shocking the capital city.

  "It won't work, we need to push it a bit." Qin Feng didn't dare to gamble on whether the course of history would change or not. If it really did change, Zhang Jiao's well-organized rebellion might have spelled the end for the Han Dynasty. This wouldn't bring any benefits to him, so no matter what, Zhang Jiao had to be forced into an early uprising. Therefore, Qin Feng decided to give it a try: "Anyway, it's all just reporting, even if you go report yourself, it doesn't matter; as long as we can force Zhang Jiao to rebel immediately, that's all that matters. Hmm, that's the way it is. Whether it succeeds or not, we have to put in our greatest effort!"

  "Hu Che Er, prepare the horse, I'm going to Luoyang City for a trip."

  ……

  West of Luoyang City, a grand mansion with a gilded plaque on the gate bearing two large characters: "Lu Manor". Several horses galloped in, led by none other than Qin Feng. Behind him, the fierce warrior Hu Che Er was accompanied by three bodyguards who guarded him all the way.

  Qin Feng reined in his horse, and the two young servants at the entrance of the mansion hastily came forward to greet him. They bowed their heads and said: "Greetings to Master Qin...". These people were not core members and did not know Qin Feng's true identity, but they knew that Qin Feng had a close relationship with their master and could not afford to be even slightly neglectful. One of them was quick-witted and hastily crawled forward two steps to arrive beside Qin Feng's horse.

  Qin Feng had just said he was going to dismount when he saw the person kneeling down below him, holding a dismounting stone. Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat, grandma's bear must hold on now, it's not time to show off yet. Reputation, reputation! Qin Feng smiled slightly, revealing a benevolent smile that would make even Liu Xuan De feel inferior, and said: "Alright, we don't do this here, get up."

  There was someone who served slightly poorly before. When Master Qin was there, the old master didn't say anything, but as soon as Master Qin left, that person was thrown into the Luo River to feed the fish. The young servant didn't want to be thrown into the Luo River and hastily begged: "Master......" Kowtowing like pounding garlic.

  Qin Feng knew that Lu Zhan was afraid of him and also knew about Lu Zhan's notorious reputation. However, since Lu Zhan was a big shot in the underworld, as long as he showed respect to Qin Feng, the more ruthless he was, the better. Qin Feng had no choice but to step down from his horse, treading on the back of this little fellow.

  Qin Feng directly entered the mansion, this Lu Mansion was a super-large luxurious residence, with dozens of courtyards and hundreds of servants attending to it. More than a hundred of Lu Zhan's subordinates also lived in the mansion. Along the way, the servants who saw him hastily retreated several steps, knelt on the side of the road, and paid their respects, not daring to raise their heads or even breathe loudly.

  "Master!" The men practicing martial arts in each yard also said the same.

  "Who is this?" a young newcomer asked.

  "Silence, this is Xiaoming Zhan Qin Feng Qin Zi Jin. Under his command are 500 strong and brave men, each one of them can take on several of us. I don't see the big black man who followed Master Qin's estate, nor do I see the iron spear he carried on his back, which was said to weigh 80 jin. Even our gang's elite fighters couldn't defeat him alone. Master Qin is not only powerful but also kind and generous, many of us in the Jianghu have received his help, and he is the person our leader respects the most."

  "Wow, that's Meng Zong, the Qin child prodigy..." The young man looked at the passing figure with reverence. If one day I can also have such a reputation, even if only for a day, I'd be willing to die contentedly...

  Hu Che'er led his men to surround Qin Feng, the master of this place, Lu Zhan, had risen too quickly in Luoyang City in just half a year. He was almost the overlord of the underground forces in Luoyang City, and he bribed officials, so nothing happened. Master Lu indeed had extensive connections, knowing people like this.

  "Hahaha……, I didn't know the great Qin Zhuangzhu was coming and missed the chance to welcome you from afar, forgive me, forgive me……." Lu Zhan came up with a big smile, these past six months he had been living extremely comfortably. Before, high-ranking officials and nobles were as distant as mountains, and half of the merchants in Luoyang would have to curry favor with him. This was previously just a small-time hoodlum Lu Zhan, it's unimaginable.

  "Master!" The two deputy masters of the Hong Society behind Lu Zhan made a bow, with eyes shining with loyalty.

  Qin Feng nodded slightly, these two men were named Liu Ze and Qian Sheng. They were the trusted followers Qin Feng had recruited a few months ago when he went out hunting. Previously, both of them had been wandering in the Jianghu, and they were both ruthless and cunning people. Qin Feng did not keep the two men at the mountain villa, but instead sent them to Lu Zhang's place, where they took up the position of deputy leader. This matter was only known to Qin Feng and Lu Zhang, and Gao Shun and others were unaware of it. Qin Feng also did not plan to expose his relationship with Lu Zhang and Da Niu to other subordinates at this time.

  Lu Zhan welcomed Qin Feng into the main hall, and the large gate was closed. Outside the gate, Hu Che'er and others were guarding.

  "The master is above, just now I couldn't pay my respects in time, Lu Zhan feels ashamed and guilty..." As soon as the gate closed, Lu Zhan immediately knelt down. He was very clear in his heart that everything he had was given by Qin Feng, and the two deputy leaders under him were more capable than himself. If it were before, encountering these two men, let alone becoming their superior, with his own little tricks, he would have been taken care of by these two scoundrels long ago.

  "Get up." Qin Feng was very satisfied with the emotions expressed by Lu Zhan, and he didn't pull him in vain. At this moment, Qin Feng was no longer the beggar who had eaten with Da Niu, but a man with great ambitions, so he began to try to use his own power to push the gears of history in a direction that was beneficial to himself. Can't be impatient, anxiousness can't eat hot tofu... Wait until Dong Zhuo's rebellion deposes the emperor and the imperial family's reputation hits rock bottom, when the scholars are disheartened, then it will be the opportunity... The only thing to do before is to accumulate power and wait for the right moment to make a move.

  "My lord, I don't know what instructions you have for me next... Lu Zhan will definitely do his best..."

  "Uh, you and Big Cow will go all out to investigate the things about Luoyang Taiping Daoism in these few days. I want everything to be detailed, no matter how small it is. Who is the leader, what are they doing, even if it's going to the toilet several times a day, I want you to find out! Any questions?" Qin Feng said lightly.

  "Master, please rest assured that the Taiping Taoist sect is also a force in Luoyang and has some contact with my subordinates. My subordinates will definitely investigate clearly...". What does Master want to know about the Taiping Taoist sect? It's just an alliance of poor people, nothing profitable! In fact, Lu Zhan had known about the Taiping Taoist sect for a long time, but these people were too poor and lazy to bother with before.

  "It's best this way......" Qin Feng knew that this matter could only be done by doing his part and waiting for fate.

  Jian Qinfeng then left, and Lu Zhan hurriedly sent him off.

  When Qin Feng returned to the manor.

  "Hahaha......, Brother Zhang has made a move, and I have shown courtesy to my brother!" Just then, Cao Cao was seen standing at the gate, his eyes fixed intently on something. Beside him stood a man with a worried look, none other than Yuan Shao.

  "Haha, it's Meng De and Ben Chu brothers. I'm so sorry for not coming to welcome you from afar..." Qin Feng knew that these two couldn't move, otherwise history would change, and if history changed, he would lose his greatest advantage - "grasping the great trend of the times." This huge strategic vision advantage, Qin Feng couldn't afford to lose now, so he smiled and went forward to welcome them.
