Wu Zheng walked out of the cell and immediately told Song An to see him.

"Can we know where Wei Kuangguo is now?"

Song An replied, "Since the young master settled the old stakes for him, Wei Kuangguo rarely came to Hangzhou Prefecture."

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "He wants to preach in Jiangnan, can't I allow this king to allow him?"

Song An looked at Wu Zheng strangely, "Hasn't the young master already ordered Wei Kuangguo to preach and preach in various prefectures in Jiangnan?"

Wu Zheng was stunned, "Is there anything wrong?"

Song An was amused and crying, "Young Master really forgot... I owed the Holy See two or three million taels of silver for muskets and cannons. Wei Kuangguo came to pay back the money again and again. Didn't the Young Master take the condition of allowing Wei Kuangguo to preach in various prefectures in Jiangnan to give him the permission to pay back the money year by year?"

Wu Zheng looked at him angrily for a long time and said angrily: "It seems that this is the case... Alas, people are poor and have short ambitions, and horses are thin and long hairs. Now... they hit themselves in the foot!"

Song An said puzzledly: "What does the young master mean?... Did Wei Kuangguo do something that is not conducive to the young master?"

Wu Zheng raised his head and sighed, and said with hatred: "It's not bad for me... Their wolfish ambitions are so great!"

Song An couldn't help but feel horrified, "What the young master said...be serious?"

"Can I coax you?!" Wu Zheng said angrily.

"That's bad!" Song An stomped his feet.

Wu Zheng was stunned, "There is something even more unbearable?"

"No, no!" Song An shook his head and said, "I mean...this time...is trouble!"

"Tell me directly... what's the matter!" Wu Zheng was anxious. He was really anxious. Nothing was not troublesome when it came to "teaching", because any teaching was to bewitch ordinary people as his responsibility.

If you want to curb and eradicate these religions, the first thing you need to face is ordinary people.

Song An replied: "Maybe you don't know... The Jesuit Society founded by Wei Kuangguo and others has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Jiangnan. There are no 100,000 church members, at least 70,000 to 80,000... Even the officials and families of various prefectures and counties have people who have joined the church."

Wu Zheng's face became increasingly ugly. This was simply faster than the plague!

In just four or five years, the Jesus Church formed such a scale under its own nose, which made Wu Zheng regret his previous decision.

However, Wu Zheng blamed himself for his mistake. Even without Wu Zheng, an outsider, the Jesuits in history swept over half of China in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and even in the middle of the Qing dynasty.

Poor at that time, the monarch and ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty were still eager for the European Church and provided military support. Emperor Yongli even wrote a letter in person, begging the Church to send a large army to the east.

This is simply a scam!

The monarch and ministers of Yongli certainly did not expect that Johnson Chan had already negotiated terms with the Qing court, and the Holy See had turned to support the Qing court.

This is also the real reason why Wu Zheng has basically not seen Wei Kuangguo in recent years.

Unfortunately, the Holy See also miscalculated. They could not have imagined that Wu Zheng could really build such a powerful historical merit with a corner of the south of the Yangtze River.

Logically speaking, they should turn again.

But in fact, Wu Zheng recovered Dongfan Island and forced the joint fleet of all countries to move the Holy See's cheese and hurt the Holy See's pain nerves. This made the Holy See's knowledge that the Qing court had fallen into the sunset, but he still refused to turn.

Of course, Wu Zheng did not realize the essence of the problem at this time. He just believed that these Europa missionaries in East Asia participated in politics on their own.

"Where is Tang Ruowang?" Wu Zheng said in a deep voice, "Catch him first!"

Song An shook his head, "I'm afraid it's hard to find it... I received news not long ago that after our army took over Shuntian Prefecture, hundreds of missionaries in Beijing suddenly disappeared, and only the people who entered the church were taking over various churches... I didn't care at that time, and I thought it was because of the war, but today I heard what the young master said... It seems that he had planned it for a long time!"

"Send the order... and ask the heads of Lin Wei from all over the country to find them!" Wu Zheng gritted his teeth, "Even if he digs three feet into the ground... he wants to see people alive, and dies to see corpses!"

"yes!"

"And... I'll send a message to Ma Shiying, saying that I want to see him!"

"This... Master, Lord Ma is now the master of the cabinet..." Song An reminded, right, which dynasty master can leave the capital at will?

Wu Zheng said angrily: "What's wrong with the Master Ge... Even if the chief minister is the only one who wants to meet him, he will come to see him!"

Song An bowed anxiously and said, "Yes... I'll send someone to send a message to Yingtian Mansion."

Wu Zheng turned his head and said to Huang Changping, "Add Xia Kingdom... In addition, let Chen Mingxia, Li Yong and Zhang Huangyan wait in the mansion."

"yes."

....

At this time, Xia Guoxiang was wearing only white underwear. It was not that he had been tortured.

Instead, this guy may have a cleanliness obsession. When he was arrested, he was pressed on the ground and struggled by soldiers, and was covered in mud.

After being locked in the cell, he took off his outer shirt and showed it to others with just a pair of underwear. Not to mention, even though his hair was messy and there were a few straw threads stuck to his body, the Prime Minister Xia looked in good spirits. At least, he thought he was still majestic in front of Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng was anxious and was in a bad mood to make sense.

"Saint Xia, Fan Yong fought to death...I ordered the killing alone!" Wu Zheng went straight to the point, which was intimidation.

The implication is that even if you think you are romantic and elegant, you can't resist the king's order. When the head of the king falls, don't blame me for not saying anything!

Unexpectedly, the old god in Xia State was there, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. He even had a hint of obvious contempt, "A profit-making businessman... is worthy of death."

Wu Zheng was stunned. Is this the legendary fifty steps to laugh a hundred steps?

"Just understand." Wu Zheng was unintentionally entangled with this, "Tell me... what role do you, and Wu Sangui, play in the Jesus Church?"

These words made Prime Minister Xia stunned and looked at Wu Zheng strangely, "Does the King of Wu think... the students and my king are also fellow Jesuits?"

Wu Zheng laughed, "It seems that you know that the Jesus will... then there is no need to worry. Come on the truth quickly to avoid the pain of flesh and blood."

Prime Minister Xia suddenly raised his head and laughed.

Wu Zheng shouted angrily: "Why are you laughing at... Do you believe that I will kill you and I will kill you?"

Xia Guoxiang stopped laughing and said seriously: "Students are not afraid of death... In fact, it doesn't matter whether they cut their heads or not. The main reason is that students really look down on those Westerners who rely on their ingenuity and lustful skills."

Wu Zheng frowned. Why does this guy's words sound so... uncoherent?

"You mean...you, and Wu Sangui, aren't...Jesus people?"

The Prime Minister of Xia looked disdainful, "I would like to ask His Highness the King of Wu... Can anyone who holds the power of life and death in the world believe in the vain and ethereal God?"

This statement also makes sense. Wu Sangui can determine the life and death of all people by himself, so why should he rely on God?
