As a brocade guard who is proficient in torture, Ma Decai is not only ruthless and has many chilling ideas about torture, but also is very good at grasping people's psychology, especially the minds of those who have been ravaged under his hands.

The few words of conversation with Lu Jin just now certainly meant to show his heart to the governor, but at the same time, it was also said to the prisoners who were still sober, in order to put more psychological pressure on them. After seeing that the other party had been shaken, he did not rush to stop the punishment for questioning, but continued to use torture to break the opponent's last psychological defense.

This trick was really successful, and after tasting the terrible methods of Jinyiwei, and knowing that he couldn't even ask for death, the fanatical worship of the White Lotus Sect, Maitreya and the lifeless old mother dissipated. At this time, he only asked the other party to give him a good time, so after being taken off the cloth stuffed in his mouth, he immediately proposed that he was willing to explain everything.

Half an hour later, this prisoner who was covered in bruises and could not even stand up again, was taken to the county magistrate's public house together with his two accomplices, and what they faced was naturally Lu Jin.

Looking at the embarrassed and miserable appearance of the three of them, Lu Zhen didn't feel much pity, because they were to blame for all this. Just think about how much disaster they will bring to the people of Lijin County and how many people will die as a result of their actions if their actions are really successful, and no amount of torture will be used against them.

After looking at them coldly for a long time, Lu Zhen spoke: "Who is your surname, where are your names, and you are recruited from the truth one by one!" ”

The three of them had already broken their hearts, and they naturally didn't dare to hide anything in the face of the problem at this time, and they all reported their names, the leader was named Wu Zhongnian, the other two were named Chen Wuba, and the other was Liu Qi, the former was from Jinan City, and the latter two were from this county.

In this regard, there is naturally no problem with Xia Weiqiu, the county magistrate, listening. And Xia Xian Ling was even more angry at the latter two at this time, these two guys are simply inhumane, obviously they are from this county, and they are actually going to do such a thing to harm the villagers.

Lu Zhen was also a little surprised, in his mind, the other party should be a foreigner. But soon, he put this behind him: "You have all joined the White Lotus Sect? ”

The three of them nodded dejectedly and said yes, which can be explained. This kind of cult habit will brainwash people and make them use some evil words and instigation, but it can indeed make these people desperate.

"Then let's talk about what your overall plan is, I think the White Lotus Sect didn't just let you destroy the embankment here to make the people of Lijin suffer, right?" After Lu Zhen asked this, his eyes were fixed on Wu Zhongnian's body.

There was a hint of hesitation on Wu Zhongnian's face, but then he remembered the torture he had just received, and he still told the truth: "The villain is on the order of the incense lord of my Lu Province to disturb Lijin County this time. Digging up the river embankment is only one thing, and then we will also think of inciting the affected people to revolt......"

"Hey, you guys really dare to think about it." Lu Zhen sighed, and then asked: "So there should be your accomplices in this county, or who are the people who have been moved by you before, and then they will cause trouble?" ”

Wu Zhongnian's face suddenly showed surprise, he didn't expect that he only said this, so that Lu Zhen could see the layout behind him. And his reaction made Lu Zhen more determined, so he slapped the table and shouted: "If you don't want to suffer anymore, you can quickly explain everything." ”

Faced with the double pressure of psychology and physical body, Wu Zhongnian had to report his names one by one like pouring beans into a bamboo tube. And the scribe and Xia Weiqiu who were recording on the side turned extremely ugly after hearing this, because many of these people were still familiar with them.

It wasn't until there were more than 30 people reported that the other party stopped, and his face was full of confusion at this time. Because this time, he sold the entire White Lotus Sect's manpower in Lijin.

"Very well, tell me what your so-called incense master has in mind. Since he is the head of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong Province, he will not only focus on a corner of Lijin County, right? Lu Zhen seized the opportunity and continued to ask.

At this point, Wu Zhongnian knew that he had no way back at all, so he had to bow his head and explain: "Our original intention of the incense lord was to use Lijin as bait to induce Shandong officers and soldiers to send a large number of people to quell the rebellion, and then he himself was looking for an opportunity to disturb the situation in Jinan Prefecture, so as to make the whole Shandong chaotic......

Although his explanation was very general and his words were quite simple, it still made Lu Zhen take a sharp breath when he heard it. Because this plan is indeed very likely to succeed, there is only one line away from the accident in Lijin County...... This made him feel scared for a while, if he hadn't come on a whim and followed his doubts, I'm afraid their plan would have really succeeded!

"Then did he ever mention how he planned to mess with my Jinan City?" After settling down, Lu Zhen asked another extremely important question. Although this Lijin crisis was resolved by him in time, it does not mean that the White Lotus Sect's overall conspiracy has failed, who knows if they will have other plans, or they can't wait and act early?

But this time, he was going to be disappointed. Faced with this question, Wu Zhongnian could only shake his head: "Lord Xue Xiang didn't elaborate on this, he just said that everything was in his plan, let's just do what he wants." ”

When Lu Zhen heard this, he frowned slightly. But he could see that the other party's statement was not false, because it was also a guarantee made by the White Lotus Sect for his own safety. It's just that in this way, the problem is still there, and it seems that we must rush back to Jinan as soon as possible to stop the other party's conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhen asked a question that he was most concerned about: "Who is the Lord Xue Xiang that you are talking about?" What is his identity in Jinan and where is he hiding? ”

He ...... "Faced with this critical issue, Wu Zhongnian finally hesitated. Because he knew very well that once he truthfully confessed, the government would be able to easily capture the leader of this Holy Sect in Shandong, and uproot the Holy Sect's power in the whole province accordingly! In this way, he has truly become a great sinner of the Holy Religion.

Seeing that he hesitated again, Lu Zhen immediately shouted: "If you don't explain honestly, now, do you still want to hide something and suffer again?" ”

This sentence made Wu Zhongnian feel the pain in his lower body again, and after his body trembled like chaff, he finally trembled and said: "I said, our incense master's name is Xue Xin, he is just a merchant in Jinan City on the surface, and his name outside is Xue Xin, but he is the owner of Xue's carriage and horse shop......"

"Huh......" After hearing this answer, Lu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and with this explanation, he could go back and get people. Moreover, the other party's answer was also very reasonable, only a place like the carriage and horse shop, which always had to deal with people from all over the world, was the best cover for the important figures of the White Lotus Sect to contact their accomplices from all over the world.

After asking the answers he needed, Lu Jin had no need to stay in Lijin any longer. In the afternoon of the same day, he asked Ma Decai and the others to escort Wu Zhongnian and the others, who were later arrested by the government and suspected of colluding with the White Lotus Sect, to return to Jinan.

And when they walked out of the county government and went to the city gate, many people in the city rushed out and knelt down to thank them. At this time, these people already knew what happened last night, and they also understood that if it wasn't for the governor's timely action, I am afraid that the entire county would have become a sea now, and even if he did not die, his family would have been ruined.

In this way, they have long forgotten their previous hatred for Jinyiwei, and only gratitude to them remains.

In the face of the people's gratitude, Lu Zhen naturally appeased them for a while, and at the same time took the opportunity to popularize the imperial decree that they must fight against the White Lotus Sect, and after getting everyone's approval, he re-mounted and took everyone out of the city.

It wasn't until they were miles away from the city that the procession of the people who saw them off all the way stopped, but they still stood there, waving goodbye to them frequently.

This scene made the faces of the brocade guards always hot. Because just a few days ago, they had bullied the local people many times and robbed them of their belongings.

Lu Zhen also saw this, and couldn't help but say to Ma Decai beside him: "Ma Baihu, now I know that it feels more comfortable to do good deeds than to show off your might, right?" ”

Ma Decai's face turned red when he heard this, but he still nodded in acknowledgement: "What the adults said is that it is a mistake to be humble, and I will not dare to commit it again in the future." ”

Although Lu Zhen knew that this was just the other party's statement to please himself, he still nodded with satisfaction: "This is naturally the best." As a brocade guard, you may sometimes have to do some evil things because of the orders of your boss, but I hope you can remember one thing, that is, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, which will not hinder you, but it may save people's lives. ”

"The lowly duty is written." This time's answer was much more solemn than before, and it was obvious that Ma Decai had indeed been affected to a certain extent.

Just when Lu Zhen nodded with satisfaction and was about to go forward, Ma De suddenly said, "Your Excellency, ......"

"What else?" Lu Zhen asked casually.

"This time, we can take down the demons of the White Lotus Sect and expose their conspiracy, then Du Qiu always has some slight credit, I wonder if the adults can spare him at this point?" After a slight hesitation, Ma De pleaded.

Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was another such one. He didn't have too many thoughts about this, after all, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and it is not a bad thing to be able to make friends with the Jinyi Wei in these places. But before that, he couldn't help but ask: "What did he do with this Duqiu?" How can you Jinyi Wei not dare to protect him? ”js3v3
