At night, in a town in Yongqing County. Heaven "'Lai'." ⒉

A black shadow climbed up the wall of an ordinary house in the south of the town and poisoned the two dogs in the courtyard with a meat bun mixed with poison, and then several figures climbed over the courtyard wall and blew a smoke into the sleeping man's room.

After the smoke took effect, the figures used a short knife to pull the door bolt and entered the room to check, and after making sure that everyone was unconscious, they opened the courtyard door, and Zhao Xin, who was covered with frost, walked in quickly surrounded by several big men and entered the master bedroom.

"Childe, it's him, according to the information we have, he is the leader of the White Lotus Sect in this town."

As Zhao Xin entered the room, two big men dragged a sleeping middle-aged man off the bed and brought him to her, tied his hands and feet with ropes, and then a big man standing next to Zhao Xin pointed at the middle-aged man and said to Zhao Xin.

"Wake him up!" Zhao Xin's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and he gave the order with a cold expression.

A big man then took out a small porcelain bottle, pulled the stopper on the porcelain bottle and shook it in front of the middle-aged man's nose, and the middle-aged man's head quickly moved and slowly regained his senses.

"Help him." Seeing that the middle-aged man's consciousness was a little blurred, Zhao Xin said coldly.

Immediately, a big man brought a basin of cold water and poured it on the middle-aged man's face.

"You...... Who are you? The middle-aged man came to his senses now, shook the drops of water on his face, noticed the people in the room, and asked in a panic.

"Ben Gongzi knows that you are a member of the White Lotus Cult, but Ben Gongzi is not interested in this, Ben Gongzi only wants to know where the wife of the pro-army senior deputy Qianhu in the town was arrested by you, and where is the senior deputy Qianhu now?"

Zhao Xin looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly, and said coldly, "This son only gives you one chance, if you don't cherish it, you will bear the consequences." ”

"Big ...... Uncle, you must be mistaken, I ...... I'm just a merchant who walks the streets. The middle-aged man's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and then he hurriedly opened his mouth to justify.

"Sober him up." Zhao Xin's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and said coldly to the big man beside her, she didn't have the heart to play a game of cat and mouse with a middle-aged man.

A big man immediately stepped forward, pulled out a short knife from his waist and stabbed it in the middle-aged man's thigh, and at the same time, another big man stuffed a ball of rags into the middle-aged man's mouth.

The middle-aged man didn't expect these unlucky guests to hit him hard without saying a word, his face turned pale with pain, and he wanted to shout but couldn't make a sound because he had a rag in his mouth, so he could only roll on the ground with a whining.

"Now that your memory may have recovered, have you figured out how to answer Ben Gongzi?"

Zhao Xin looked at the middle-aged man who was already in a cold sweat on his forehead, and said coldly, "This son will give you one last chance, if you are still pretending to be crazy and stupid with this son, then this son will let you survive and not die, and then put the people in your family in prison, this son believes that you know how the government deals with the people of the White Lotus Cult!" ”

"Son, I am wronged, I am not a White Lotus cult...... a big man took off the rag from the middle-aged man's mouth, and the middle-aged man pretended to be pitiful and defended.

"You brought it on yourself, no wonder this son."

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to finish speaking, Zhao Xin interrupted him with a sneer, now is an extraordinary period for her to spend time and energy with the middle-aged man here, so she must get the information she needs from the middle-aged man as soon as possible.

Even if the middle-aged man has nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect, Zhao Xin has to extract a confession from him, and the news she has now is that the middle-aged man is the leader of the White Lotus Sect in the town, so she can't care about it much, she has to find a way to pry open the middle-aged man's mouth, and would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one.

As Zhao Xin's words fell, the big man who had stabbed the middle-aged man in the thigh leaned down and put the short knife on the middle-aged man's neck, causing a cold chill to suddenly rush to the neck of the middle-aged man.

"Childe, what about the others here?" At this time, a big man standing behind Zhao Xin opened his mouth and asked.

"Since we can't ask anything useful, then it's a bunch of waste for us, these White Lotus cultists don't repent, we don't have to trouble the local government, wait for it to end directly, and then put a fire."

Zhao Xin sneered when she heard this, and after coldly putting down a sentence, she walked out, she was gambling, betting that a middle-aged man could not bear the psychological pressure and confessed.

If the middle-aged man is really hard-hearted and doesn't care about the life and death of his family, then she can only find a way to continue to extort confessions from middle-aged men, although she is not good at extorting confessions, but some of the subordinates she brought are good at this, and it will be a bloody scene.

"I ...... I'm recruiting! ”

Seeing Zhao Xin preparing to leave with an indifferent face, the middle-aged man's face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly shouted to Zhao Xin who walked to the door, the knife in his leg before had already made him afraid, and now he was really worried that Zhao Xin would harm his whole family.

"Say!" Hearing this, Zhao Xin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, stopped and turned around and stared coldly at the middle-aged man and said.

"I ...... I don't know where the wives of Takatsu Chito are, they were taken away by the people who divided the altar. ”

The middle-aged man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said in a panic, "But ...... But I know where the senior deputy Qianhu went, and some important people in the sect were arrested by the people of the Hejian prefect's yamen, and the branch altar asked the senior deputy Qianhu to go to the Hejian Mansion to save people! ”

"Hejian Mansion!" Zhao Xin frowned slightly when he heard this, no wonder he couldn't find out the whereabouts of the senior deputy Qianhu, it turned out that he went to the river.

"Do you know how to find them when you get to Hejian Province?" Then, Zhao Xin asked quietly staring at the middle-aged man.

"Son, the little one is just a miscellaneous person, how can he know about the affairs of Hejian Mansion!" The middle-aged man suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this, and his face was full of helplessness.

"Let's go!" Zhao Xin felt that the middle-aged man had already told all the things he knew, and it would be futile to stay here any longer, so she turned around and walked quickly towards the door, she had to rush to the river overnight.

With Li Hongyu's order, the big man who clamped the short knife around the middle-aged man's neck waved his hand, cut the rope tied to the middle-aged man's hand, and left with Zhao Xin.

"Childe, I'm ...... What should I do? The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Xin who walked out of the door, it seems that Zhao Xin has no intention of sending him to the official.

"Forget about tonight, or you're in big trouble!" Zhao Xin said without looking back when she heard this, catching the White Lotus Sect disciples was a matter for the local yamen, and she was not in the mood to take care of such idle matters now.

"Who are they?"

The middle-aged man was stunned, he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and after Zhao Xin led his subordinates to leave, he couldn't help but muttered to himself, feeling that the identity of these people who appeared at home tonight was mysterious and their behavior was abnormal.

However, since Zhao Xin didn't pay attention to what he meant, then the middle-aged man naturally wouldn't publicize tonight's matter, he had already leaked the information of the White Lotus Sect to Zhao Xin, and if he was known by the people of the White Lotus Sect, he would be severely punished.

After leaving the town, Zhao Xin ordered the fire to rush to Hejian City, frowning tightly along the way, secretly praying in his heart that he would have time to see the senior deputy Qianhu and successfully get the holy decree of transferring troops in his hands.

Moreover, Zhao Xin didn't think that the senior deputy Qianhu could save the important person of the White Lotus Sect, once the pro-army left the capital, it would be useless, at most relying on his identity to scare people, but Hejian Mansion was the capital of Gyeonggi Prefecture, and he would not be frightened by a pro-army deputy Qianhu.

As for who the important figure of the White Lotus Sect is, Zhao Xin is not interested in knowing now, who in the world can compare in importance to the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty?

The next night, in an inn in RiverCity.

"Childe, I inquired about it, the government recently arrested a group of believers of the White Lotus Sect, and now they are locked up in the prison of Hejian Mansion, it is said that someone wants to ransom these believers, but Chen Wenyuan, the governor of Hejian Mansion, refused."

Zhao Xin was restlessly pacing back and forth in the room when a big man pushed the door and walked in, reporting in a deep voice.

"Chen Wendao?" Zhao Xin was stunned at first, and then his face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but pat his forehead and muttered to himself, "How did I forget, Chen Wendao made up for the lack of officials in Hejian Mansion!" ”

Chen Wendao is a native of Yunnan, and like Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, he was a Jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, but he was admitted to the top three, and later came to Hejian Mansion when he was released as an official.

As a jinshi in the same department, Zhao Xin naturally met Chen Wendao, but because Zhao Xin was an official in the capital, and Chen Wendao served as a pusher in Hejian Mansion, plus Chen Wendao took refuge in the Zhejiang Party, so the contact between the two was limited, otherwise Zhao Xin would have remembered Chen Wendao's position in Hejian Mansion for the first time.

But then again, Zhao Xin's mind is now full of holy decrees, where is he thinking about other things.

"It looks like he wants to make a big splash in the Riverhouse." After pacing back and forth in the room a few times, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Xin's mouth, "However, he wants to give me this face." ”

"It seems that my son is going to meet Chen Wendao." After speaking, Zhao Xin stopped and secretly made a decision, if the people of the White Lotus Sect wanted to rescue that important person, they would definitely go through Chen Wendao, which would save him a lot of trouble.

On the morning of the next day, Zhao Xin appeared in front of the Yamen of Hejian Mansion with two entourages, and soon after handing over the name post, a man with a national character face of about 30 and wearing a seven-grade official robe hurriedly greeted him from the mansion.

"Brother Zhao, what kind of wind blew you here, you are a rare guest!" This man with a Chinese character face is Chen Wendao, and he bowed to Zhao Xin with a smile.

Although both of them are officials of the seventh grade, Zhao Xin is a dignified Hanlin, and he is the top existence of the official position of the seventh grade of the Ming Dynasty, and his status in the officialdom is much higher than that of Chen Wendao, so he naturally has to go out to greet him.

"I'm bothering you to visit rashly." Zhao Xin smiled and returned the salute.

"Brother Zhao, where is this, Brother Zhao is a distinguished guest who can't be invited." Chen Wendao hurriedly shook his head, smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, and invited Zhao Xin into the mansion, feeling very strange about Zhao Xin's arrival, I don't know why Zhao Xin came to Hejian Mansion, you must know that it is the mourning period of Emperor Wanli.
