Sun Mansion Hall.

Hong Jiu sat upright on the chair at the end, his legs were especially tight, and he was smothered in his crotch.

But the delicate little girl who was in charge of making tea would come up every half an hour to remove the residual tea, and brew fresh hot tea Hong Jiuchu always felt that he didn't drink it clean, and he seemed to be sorry for the busy work of others, so he drank several cups in a row, and filled the two kidneys early.

But the first time I came to such an official eunuch's house, the person in charge of serving was a young girl, Hong Jiu was already a little timid, and he was embarrassed to ask where the toilet was?

However, more than half an hour has passed, and Sun Shaozong's shadow has not yet been seen, and Hong Jiu has almost endured it to the limit.

Thinking that it was almost time for the little maid to come in and change the tea again, he stood up with his legs between his legs and the chair, barely squeezing out a smile, and when the footsteps were getting closer, he couldn't wait to ask: "Excuse me, may I ask the ...... of your house?"

Halfway through the words, I saw a majestic figure and stepped into the hall.

Puff~

Hong Jiu immediately put the urine and the rest of the words back into his mouth, knelt on his knees in a hurry, slammed his head on the ground, and said respectfully: "Villain Hong Jiu, I have seen the Qingtian master!" ”

Sun Shaozong listened to half of the words, only when he was anxious to wait, and wanted to ask when he would be able to come back, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and directly sat down on the main seat with a golden knife, and then raised his hand and ordered: "Get up and talk." ”

"Thank you, Master."

Hong Jiu turned his body with his hands and feet, and kowtowed to Sun Shaozong again, then he got up cautiously and stood in the center of the living room with his head bowed.

Hong Jiu's share really couldn't afford a seat in front of the four pins, and Sun Shaozong didn't want to exalt him too much, so after he stood firm, he asked straight to the point: "I heard that you have something important and must report to the official in person?" ”

"Back to the master's words!"

As soon as he got down to business, Hong Jiu regained some of his wit, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain does have something important, and he has to face the master." ”

"Recently, a lot of outsiders have come to the capital, some of them have dressed up as beggars, walking around in private, since the villain has received the errand of the chief of security, he naturally does not dare to let them break the rules, so he sent someone to invite them over, and wanted to put our market in Beijing, and said that he said."

"Who knew that those people were all practitioners, and they beat up the people I sent, and then they all disappeared."

"The villain faintly felt that something was wrong, so he contacted several other security chiefs, found these people again, and secretly monitored and investigated, wanting to find out their bottom if it was a villain, so he could inform the government in advance."

"It doesn't matter who thinks that the villain's investigation is done, but he found out a big secret!"

"A big secret?"

Sun Shaozong saw that he was excited and frightened when he said this, and he couldn't help but feel a little interested, leaned forward slightly, and raised his chin: "What is the big secret?" ”

Hong Jiu sneakily glanced out of the door a few times, and then turned around and lowered his voice and said, "Those people are actually the remnants of the White Lotus Sect!" ”

The remnants of the White Lotus Sect?!

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but be taken aback, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the White Lotus Sect was also one of the forces, although in the end it was the Great Monday that ruled the world, but because the White Lotus Sect was the **** regime, it was the most demagogic, so there were still a lot of die-hard remnants of the party, dormant in the dark.

Seventeen years ago, that is, Sun Shaozong's cheap father, crossed the Yalu River with great vigor, and was defeated and committed suicide in the year, taking advantage of the Great Zhou Dynasty's humiliation of the country, the White Lotus Sect raised a counter-flag in Shaanxi, Gansu and other places, and plundered the prefectures and counties all the way upside down, enveloping countless people.

Although just two months later, the hundreds of thousands of rebels coerced by the White Lotus Sect were wiped out by the large surrounding army guarding against the Mongolian iron cavalry, and the sect leader and the holy woman were also sent to the capital, and they ended up with a thousand cuts.

But for more than ten years, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect still appeared from time to time, and every time they made the court feel like a great enemy.

But......

The White Lotus Sect is generally active in Shaanxi and Gansu, occasionally entering the boundaries of Henan and Shanxi, and appearing in the imperial city at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but it is still the first time in the world.

Could it be that these guys want to take advantage of the instability of the court situation and make a big deal in the capital?

Tut~

In the southwest, there are Qianxiang countries and real wax countries, and in the southeast, there are Haikou in the southeast, and the black water in the north is even more blatant, cutting off the trade route between Korea and the Great Zhou.

Now that there is a White Lotus Sect in the capital, this situation is really ......

Sun Shaozong was in the cabinet's heart, and at the same time asked, "How do you confirm that they are the remnants of the White Lotus Sect?" Aside from the fact that they are the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, have they heard other news? ”

"Return to the master."

I heard Hong Jiu say: "The villain didn't dare to believe it at first, so he quietly stared at them for a few days, and then got a big news!" ”

This big news even brought wholesale.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked what was going on, but listened to Hong Jiu continue: "According to the results of the villain's inquiry, they came to the capital this time to find the reincarnated saint!" ”

A reincarnated saint?

This White Lotus Sect is headed by the sect leader on weekdays, and there is also a saint as a spiritual pillar, and it is said that no sect leader must be blessed by the saint before he can officially take office.

However, when the saintess of the previous generation died, she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and it was too late to cultivate the next generation of saints, so in the past ten years, the White Lotus Sect has been in a state of leaderlessness.

"It is said that when the holy woman was tortured, she shouted several times, saying that after eighteen years, she would inevitably be reborn from the ashes and establish some kind of earthly kingdom of God."

"It's been almost eighteen years since I saw this, and it just so happened that there was a vision of the Heavenly Dog swallowing the sun, so the people of the White Lotus Sect all believed that their holy daughter was about to awaken, and her Dharma Body was in the capital!"

What kind of rebirth from the fire, isn't it a copy of 'Lao Tzu is a good man again after eighteen years'? These people from the White Lotus Sect are even serious!

Sun Shaozong scolded in his stomach, and listened to Hong Jiu continue: "And the villain also found out that those remnants of the White Lotus Sect were in the official mansion, and they even arranged internal responses. ”

"Guilty?"

Sun Shaozong was busy asking what was going on, but it turned out that in the past few days that Hong Jiu had been secretly surveilling, he found that more than one of the white servants of the government and county government had secretly had contact with the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.

It was precisely because of this that Hong Jiu did not dare to report to Zhao Wuxing, but instead stubbornly found Sun Shaozong directly.

Now the situation seems to be even more serious!

Although it is only a few white servants, who can guarantee that there will be no court officials behind this, who will be bewitched by the people of the White Lotus Sect?

It seems that this matter cannot be done by relying on the power of Shuntianfu, and can only be investigated by transferring people from the Dragon Guard.

Sun Shaozong pondered for a long time, and then asked Hong Jiu whether those messengers relied on a code or knew each other for a long time when they connected with the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.

It's a pity that Hong Jiu didn't find out these details clearly.

Seemingly......

It is necessary to further carry out covert monitoring of these people, and at least they should find out what they are in the capital, so that they can be cut down and eradicated.

Thinking like this, Sun Shaozong raised his hand and pointed to the chair on his right, and said, "You have done a good job in this matter, sit down and drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat, and then talk carefully about the foothold and personnel composition of the White Lotus Sect Yu Party to this official." ”

As he spoke, he raised his voice and beckoned: "Come on, serve tea!" ”

This is naturally lifting Hong Jiu, but as soon as he heard the word 'tea', Hong Jiu's face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd, and he sneered with his legs between his legs: "Master, villain...... Can the villain go first...... Let's go first. ”

Seeing him like this, Sun Shaozong understood what he meant by his initial words, and waved his hand with a smile, signaling to the little maid who was serving the tea, and led Hong Jiu down first.

After Hong Jiu withdrew from the hall after being amnestied, Sun Shaozong continued to ponder about the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.

Although Neiying must be dug out to prevent future troubles, it is not the key, the most important thing at the moment is actually the reincarnated saintess.

If you can preempt the White Lotus Sect and hold the reincarnated saint in the palm of your hand, not only can you greatly damage the morale of the White Lotus Sect, but also take the opportunity to trap a group of fanatical followers of the White Lotus Sect.

If you get it right, maybe it's a chance to completely solve the White Lotus Sect!

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Sun Shaozong only thought that Hong Jiu was back, so he didn't get up to greet him, who knew that the footsteps reached the door, and suddenly turned into a hearty laugh: "Second brother, I was afraid that you would not be at home when I came, but I didn't want to be so coincidental, you happened to come back from the Prince's Mansion!" ”

I saw a man who was as rich as jade and angry and enchanting walked in outside, but who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Xianglian?

Sun Shaozong hurriedly got up to greet him, but saw him pull out a gilded post from his sleeve, and said with both hands: "Second brother, I will get married to the thirteenth brother next month, and you can't miss the appointment like Xue Datou did that time!" ”

"I've been thinking about it for a long time."

Sun Shaozong took the post with a smile, and flicked his fingers and said: "Besides, I helped set this day, not only me at that time, but even the eldest brother will be there, and my brother will designate you to give you a generous gift!" ”

When Liu Xianglian heard this, she was about to thank her, but she heard Sun Shaozong add another sentence: "It should be given together with the share that hired you as a master." ”

Liu Xianglian suddenly collapsed and said curtly: "Second brother, I'm really impatient with this case......

"What impatience is impatient."

Sun Shaozong was willing to give him a chance to refute, waved his hand, and said undoubtedly: "This matter is so decided, after the wedding, you will be given three more days to prepare, and on the morning of September 17, if I can't see your figure in the Criminal Name Division, I will send a sign to send the official to bring you back!" ”

Liu Xianglian sighed for a while, but she didn't dare to say anything more after all, and after a while, she took the initiative to open the topic and invited Sun Shaozong to visit Xue Pan on Zijin Street with her.

"Visiting Xue Pan?"

Sun Shaozong said suspiciously: "What is this good way to visit him?" Isn't it that he has some kind of emergency? ”

Liu Xianglian gloated: "It's not an emergency, it's a human beating." ”

But it turned out that two days ago, Xue Pan held a banquet in Baihualou, and left the table to go to the toilet halfway, but he didn't come back for a long time.

Afterwards, according to Xue Pan's statement, as soon as he arrived in the toilet to prepare for convenience, he was detained by someone with a urine bucket, and his limbs were removed from the joints, so he struggled out of the toilet.

"That guy felt embarrassed, hiding at home and refusing to see anyone, I also heard others talk about it yesterday, and I only knew that there was such a thing."

Listening to Liu Xianglian's tone, I'm afraid that the door-to-door visit is fake, and it is true that I want to see Xue Pan's liveliness.

However, Sun Shaozong was amused, but he was a little vigilant in his heart, frowning and muttering: "Although the Xue family brothers say that their martial arts are scarce, they can rely on their strength and not lose money, and they are afraid that three or five people will not be able to help him, but the other party can easily remove the joints of his limbs, which is probably not something that ordinary people can do." ”

As he spoke, he nodded and said, "It's really time to visit, lest this kid don't know how to advance or retreat, and cause any more trouble!" ”

The man unloaded Xue Pan's limbs and abandoned him in the latrine, just intending to humiliate him, and did not intend to really hurt Xue Pan.

But Xue Pan's temperament, is he a master who is willing to suffer?

I guess I'm going to take revenge for a long time!

If he doesn't have any clues, it's okay, if he really lets him find out some clues by mistake, and then forces the other party to be anxious, people may not be merciful.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong felt the need to come to the door to mention him, lest he give up his life in confusion.

And Sun Shaozong has another matter, he also has to ask Wang Shangshu to help him go to Jinmen Mansion this time through Xue Pan, Sun Shaozong investigated on the spot, and found that he really did a lot.

Needless to say, Sun Shaozong showed a little meaning, so he didn't hesitate to pick up the bag.

And Su Mingchong, the political envoy of Nabu, was even more enthusiastic about him, and before Sun Shaozong showed his voice, he rushed to say that he would contact more in the future, and he didn't see a few relatives and friends in Beijing, so that Sun Shaozong could help take care of one or two.

Obviously, it is not only Sun Shaozong who has the intention of borrowing Su Mingchong's power to cultivate a foundation in Jinmen Mansion, but Su Mingchong also fell in love with Sun Shaozong's potential stock, so the two can be said to hit it off.

It's just that Sun Shaozong can't be stationed in Jinmen after all, so he must find a suitable person to go over and serve as his representative of interests in Jinmen.

However, this candidate is not very easy to find, after all, the Sun family has always been in the military, and there are not many serious civil officials around him, Yu Qian and Sun Chengtao have just ordered an official position, and it is impossible to transfer to Jinmen for the time being.

Lin Delu can barely be counted as one, but this guy is looking forward to going further in Beijing, and I'm afraid that he doesn't have the heart to go to Jinmen Mansion to redevelop.

After thinking about it, Sun Shaozong had no choice but to hit his students on the heads, naturally it was not the group of waste firewood in the Jiafu Martial Arts School, but in the autumn of last year, he recognized Sun Shaozong as a house master and a few people.

Most of these people were named Sun Shan in the spring, and they naturally had to continue to be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, but one of them was named Xiong Guang, but he was in the top three in the same subject as Yu Qian, and because he had no way, he had not been able to fill the vacancy.

Although there is not much communication between Xiong Guang and Sun Shaozong, there is a layer of teacher and student, and it will be much easier to check and balance in the future.

Therefore, after Sun Shaozong returned to Beijing, he took the time to inspect that Xiong Guang, and prepared to recommend him to go to Zhili to inspect the yamen as an official through Wang Shangshu's channel.
