"Why is Lord Lu so sure?" After a little hesitation, some people still raised their questions.

Lu Zhen glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was puzzled, so he said: "Think about it, that Xinyue Nunnery is located in the west of Suzhou, and it is not a short distance from Zhicheng Zhai in the north of the city, why would they go there to buy incense and candles at a distance?" What's more, according to my brother of Jinyiwei, some of these incense sticks still have soft tendons hidden in them. These drugs could not have been mixed in later, but were added as early as possible when incense sticks were made, just in case. Do you think that if it weren't for the accomplices of the White Lotus Sect, Xinyue'an would have been able to hand over such a secret and important matter to ordinary businessmen? ”

These words were reasonable, and everyone finally came to their senses: "Yes, what the adults said is very true. It seems that this Zhicheng Zhai is indeed very suspicious. We'll send someone around him early tomorrow morning to search him carefully. ”

"No, can't wait until tomorrow." Lu Zhen shook his head: "In order to avoid a lot of dreams at night, we must do it tonight." Now that the Xinyue Nunnery has been broken by us, presumably the people of Zhicheng Zhai will also be vigilant, and even have plans to leave. One step later, I am afraid that they will get out of it. Speaking of this, he had already set his eyes on Xiao Wentong: "Governor Xiao, I need the cooperation of the government this time." ”

"The subordinate obeys!" Xiao Wentong hurriedly replied.

"Also, say hello to Liao Dusi of Suzhou Wei, and ask him to send some people to block the roads around Beicheng, so as to ensure that the relevant people in Zhicheng Zhai are all wiped out." Lu Zhen commanded again.

The officials hurriedly answered in unison, and then some people hurriedly left to prepare the men as instructed. Even though the third watch has passed at this time, there is no one who is slack. Because they know very well that they already have the handle in the hands of Jinyiwei, if they don't show it and make some contributions, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape the charge of colluding with the traitors of the White Lotus Sect.

"My lord......" Seeing Lu Zhen get up and want to go out, Yao Gan hurriedly chased after him, as if he meant to be a companion. But he was stopped by the former waving his hand: "You are injured, don't get involved in this tonight." ”

"But ......" Yao Gan still wanted to argue, but Lu Zhen had already looked over: "Now your task is to heal your injuries as soon as possible, so that you can help this official in more critical situations." Today is just to catch some White Lotus Sect thieves hiding among the people, you don't need to worry. ”

Seeing that Lu Zhen said this, Yao Gan naturally didn't dare to disobey, so he only responded in a low voice and stayed where he was.

After a while, the lights were already brightened in the quiet Qianhu Office, which was still quiet, and more than 200 Jinyi guards had already lined up in line, under the leadership of the local Jinyi Wei Qianhu and Baihu, with Lu Jinwei and several other yamen gathered together, they set off quickly and went straight to Xicheng.

More than half an hour later, this brigade of nearly 1,000 people has appeared outside the streets and alleys where Zhichengzhai is located, and with a few orders, the streets and alleys in the vicinity have been tightly surrounded by officials and soldiers, not to mention people, even a fly is also trying to get out of this encirclement net again.

It wasn't until he was sure that everything had been arranged and stopped, that Lu Zhen waved his hand and ordered the people of the Jinyi Guard to rush forward and knock open the door of Zhichengzhai, which was still quiet and silent. Now, there is no need to salute first and then soldiers like he did before dealing with Xinyuean, just rush in and get people.

only slammed into it three or five times, and the door of the store, which was not too strong, was completely knocked open by a brocade guard, and then a local hundred households took the lead, pulled out the embroidered spring knife and killed it, and shouted loudly: "The traitor of the White Lotus Sect listens to me, this place has been surrounded by my government, you hurry up and surrender!" ”

But just as he stepped over the threshold and shouted loudly, there were a few groans in front of him, and an arrow was shooting head-on. You must know that there is a black rumbling inside, and these two arrows came suddenly, and their lethality is really not small. Fortunately, this Baihu's skills are quite agile, and when he heard the sound, he had already swung his knife and slashed obliquely, and at the same time followed a cat, finally blocking one arrow and dodging another. But one of his subordinates behind him was not so lucky, and with a miserable scream, he received an arrow for his own hundred households, and he fell on his back.

This can completely annoy the brocade guards who are pouring into the door. What a thief, you dare to shoot us with a bow and arrow, but I want you to know how good we are! Without the need for the Lord of the Hundred Households to order, someone quickly took out the bow and crossbow they had with them, and although it was dark and dark that they couldn't see anything clearly, they still shot arrows in front of them.

This shot was dozens of sharp arrows, and almost an area in front of it was shrouded in this rain of arrows. This was followed by the sound of tuk-tuk arrows hitting some of the wooden shelves, followed by two screams and the sound of someone falling to the ground after being hit by an arrow.

At the same time, some people threw the lit torches into it, and under the light of the fire, the situation in the store was presented to everyone.

The incense shop was actually not very large, there were a lot of sandalwood and candles on the shelves inside, and even some paper ties, and at the innermost, there was a ladder that only allowed one person to go up and down, and the two archers who were now lying on the ground and convulsing should have been hiding on the ladder and releasing arrows out.

This place can be taken care of at a glance, and it is no longer possible to hide any enemies, so the brocade guards no longer hesitated, and immediately rushed up to the ladder to check on the situation of the two arrow thieves. It's a pity that these two people have been hit by no less than five or six arrows, and they have already been shot into hedgehogs, and at this time they are lying in a pool of blood with only their last breath left, and it is impossible to ask anything from their mouths.

"That's the back door, go out and have a look. You two, go up the ladder and see if there are any accomplices of thieves hidden on it. This hundred households had already recovered from the panic just now, and immediately ordered his brothers to act. In front of Lord Lu, the legendary commander of the Jinyi Guard, he always has to behave, so maybe he will be appreciated by the adults.

The subordinates immediately split up, and the two of them came to the small back door, kicked the door open with a violent kick, and then jumped out with the knife in front of their chests. Outside, however, there was only a small courtyard with a radius of two feet, and there was nothing suspicious except for a few pigeon coops, and a few pigeons that were frightened and cooing when they saw someone running in.

At the same time, the two subordinates who jumped up the ladder shouted loudly: "Who are you?" Give me something at ease! "Apparently there is an accomplice of the thieves in the attic above.

Without hesitation, the hundred-man stretched out his body, using his hands and feet, and in a few moments he had gone up the bamboo staircase to the attic, and then he saw a man in the middle holding a candlestick with a twisted face, and at his feet were some ashes of paper, and half a barrel of rosin and other flammable things. Obviously, as soon as he loosened his hand and the fire ignited the rosin under his feet, with the characteristics of many goods in this incense and candle shop, it would cause a fire.

"My lord, he was burning something just now, and when he saw us coming up, he raised a fire and threatened us." A subordinate hurriedly reported the previous situation.

And the man stared at Baihu: "I didn't expect that your Jinyi Guard's people came so quickly, and they refused to give us even a little time." ”

"You know that we are from the Jinyi Guard, which means that you are the accomplice of the thieves in the Xinyue Nunnery, and you are a member of the White Lotus Sect?" The hundred households also shouted: "I advise you to be obedient and arrested, otherwise your fate will only be more miserable than those people." ”

"Huh...... What is the joy of life, and what is the fear of death? As long as I can enter the world of the White Lotus, I will be able to gain eternal life. I just wanted to burn everything here clean before leaving, but in that case, I'll take you all together, and the credit will be even greater! The man was not threatened at all, and he was shouting, and he was already trying to pull the candlestick in his hand down.

"......Slow down," one of the lieutenants shouted at this and his face changed, once he set it on fire, at least this attic and a few of them would be in danger.

"Hahaha...... It turns out that Jinyiwei is nothing more than this, I am not afraid of death, but you are afraid of ......" The other party was a little hideous, and laughed a little proudly, and at the same time, the movements of his hands were a little sluggish.

At this moment, the empty left hand of Baihu in front of him suddenly shook, and a cold light flew straight out, and it didn't enter the opponent's chest in the blink of an eye. The force of this blow was so great that it caused the opponent's body to fall backwards, and with a wave of his hand, the candlestick was thrown into the air.

Seeing this, the two lieutenants were anxious to go and take the candlestick, but the distance between the two sides was not small, and it was obviously too late. I could only let out a helpless exclamation.

At this moment, Hyakhe, who shot a flying knife to kill the enemy, shook his body and swept up with a snort, and actually copied one of them in his hand the moment the candlestick fell. At this point, the flame was only two feet away from the rosin on the ground.

"......Huh" The two subordinates shouted, and then quickly stopped, and the despair on their faces turned into ecstasy and happiness: "Good means, my lord!" ”

But at this moment, when the guy who had fallen to the ground was about to die, he used his last bit of strength to wave his hand, and a dark red point of light suddenly turned in the air, and accurately fell between the pile of papers, and the flames immediately rose and spread, directly igniting the rosin on the side.

As soon as the ground is lifted, the flames will rise!

No one expected that this person actually had a fire fold hidden in his sleeve, and in the state of being full of paper, it only took a little spark to start a fire.

This time, contrary to the expectations of the three brocade guards, even the hundred households who could kill the enemy and catch the torch in an instant just now were already unable to react at this time, and could only watch in horror as the fire fold fell to the ground, and when he exhaled, the flames jumped up......
