Chapter 276: A Mysterious Man
Then two underground secret rooms were discovered, one is used for gathering and praying, this one is really used to worship God at a glance, the smell of incense and candles is condensed in the air, and there are incense ashes and candle tears on the wall and the altar, and the statues of Zhao Quan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and the saint are also dyed with a strong fragrance.
The other chamber was an arsenal full of strong bows and sharp knives and spears, all of which were standard weapons.
Moreover, he looked at those strong bows and crossbows, and said with a smile: "Master Li, I remember that this is specially distributed to the subordinates of adults, right?" ”
Although the standard weapons are similar, there are still subtle differences, these strong bows and crossbows are specially developed and manufactured for the soldiers of the Nine Gate Admirals, and most of them are weapons for field and city defense operations.
Li Baihua's face darkened immediately: "My lord, you can't say that, although it is true that it was distributed to my subordinates, there is no evidence that it flowed from my military camp." ”
Besides, he smiled: "I don't dare to say that, the black market is rampant now, as long as you have money, you can buy anything, but this matter should still be investigated." ”
At that time, civilians were not forbidden to carry ordinary swords and bows and arrows, but this kind of strong bow and crossbow for the army was forbidden, and it was never allowed to be purchased and used casually, and could only be distributed by the imperial court.
However, cats have cat lanes, dogs have dog paths, and black market merchants always have their hands and eyes, no matter what they are, as long as the money is in place, they can get it for you. Besides, for a while, I wanted to buy guns from black market merchants, but this estimate couldn't be bought, the manufacturing cost of guns and guns was too high, and the manufacturing process was also very high-end at that time, and the imperial court controlled it more strictly, and each gun had a number.
"What the Lord said is reasonable, this official will strictly investigate when he goes back, and if someone steals and sells, he will be severely punished." Li Baihua is colorful.
Li Baihua felt a little desolate in his heart, he originally wanted to come over to find trouble after hearing the news, even if he found a little bit of evidence that was unfavorable to the situation, he would have asked some families for credit when he turned back, but he didn't expect to find evidence that was unfavorable to him.
Even if he is not directly responsible for the loss of the standard weapon, it may be difficult to get rid of the crime of negligence.
"The White Lotus Sect bandits are so rampant, they must not be tolerated, and Lord Ben must also intensify the investigation." Shuntianfu Yin said solemnly.
The security of the city is under the jurisdiction of the Shuntian Mansion, the Admiral of the Nine Gates is more to maintain order and defend the city, and the Jinyi Guard is dispatched only when there is a major event, and generally speaking, they act according to the holy order. The three yamen are all law enforcement departments, but they have a clear division of labor.
It's just that once a major case occurs, this division of labor becomes disordered, and the three departments and even the criminal department can intervene, and it is difficult to say which department has independent jurisdiction.
The two of them slipped away, ostensibly saying that they would not affect Jinyiwei's case here, but in fact they were untenable. I originally wanted to find some sore feet to make a fuss, but I didn't want to be caught by someone, this kind of thing can be big or small, or dispensable, it really depends on the mood, bite not to make a fuss, or laugh at it, it's an attitude.
They also know that besides, they are the best people in Jiangnan, and they are the best at making articles, although this article is different from the other article, the truth is still the same.
Both also left some behind, and promised to be on call for as long as needed.
Li Baihua was very angry in his heart, and after leaving, he found Rosie and asked about the specific situation. Rosie insisted that he had only come to consult him about the situation and nothing else, and Rossi's family had apparently agreed with each other, as if they had not been under house arrest before.
Of course Li Baihua is not stupid, seeing Rosie's appearance as if he was drowned for three days before he fished out, he already understood in his heart that there must be a big problem here, but Rosie didn't recognize him and couldn't help it.
When he was at a loss, he received the caution of closing the street and arresting people on another street, and Li Baihua suddenly became excited, thinking that this time he would definitely find evidence of lawlessness and abuse of power. Unexpectedly, this time the action was not only justified, but also made a great achievement.
Discovering and exterminating the White Lotus Sect has always been the top priority of the imperial court, and even if the big role is not caught, it is also indispensable. Jin Yiwei shot and killed more than 20 bandits on the spot, which reflected the incompetence of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and the Yin of Shuntian Mansion was also disgraced.
Now the whole city is still searching for the Great Elder of the White Lotus Sect and the Holy Maiden, and the rest of the disciples are always found and arrested, but they have neither found nor caught anyone.
"Why is this guy so lucky, all the good things have caught him up." Shuntianfu Yin snorted angrily, I really wish that someone would ambush him once, so that he could kill a few people and arrest a few people, and he could also show his face.
Li Baihua smiled bitterly: "He didn't catch up, but the White Lotus Sect gave him these credits." I still wonder why the White Lotus Sect launched this attack, could it be that the White Lotus Sect can't get along with the Jinyi Guard? ”
Shuntian Mansion Yin thinks about it, last time he killed many of the Jinyi Guards on the outskirts of the capital, and today there are people who want to ambush them on a large scale Besides, could it be that the White Lotus Sect and the Jinyi Guards really have special grievances that they don't know about?
"I also wondered, from the scene, those people from the White Lotus Sect simply came together to send them to death, just fighting in the house, and then taking poison to commit suicide, this is like an ambush."
Both of them are also veterans of handling cases, and after inspecting the scene, they found that many problems could not be explained, and they inevitably became suspicious. Isn't this what the hell is going on? However, the destruction caused by the fierce exchange of fire at the scene, as well as the corpses, all showed that the White Lotus Sect bandits were indeed ambushing and fighting here.
The two men were walking down the street, and their attendants were following closely behind, and the people on the street had already been cleared, and the whole street seemed very quiet.
"Fortunately, he will go to the south in the future, if he doesn't leave and stays here, we really won't have to mess around." Li Baihua suddenly sighed.
"Not necessarily, there is also a Liu Shouyou, and it is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Shuntianfu Yin sighed.
Li Baihua smiled bitterly, as an official at their level, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp, they are all stronger and stronger, compared with their own scheming, means, and more importantly, the backstage.
At present, no one is comparable, no one dares to provoke, in the final analysis, it is not how capable he is, but the backstage is too hard, with the support of the emperor and two university scholars, saying that he can fly to the sky, some people will believe it. Those powerful families are now seeing the situation and are also taking a detour, and they are unwilling to collide with him head-on, and they can't take advantage of causing trouble with such people.
Moreover, when he first appeared in the capital, no one noticed him, he was just one of Zhang Juzheng's staff at that time, and in fact, most people did not know that he was the heir to the mantle of Chen Musa. Later, the emperor enabled the establishment of the sixth guard of brocade clothes, and no one took it seriously, besides, he was too young, just a showman, although he had the name of a Jiangnan genius, this identity did not add much weight to the officialdom.
There are many talented people in ancient times, Li Bai, Du Fu, and Li Shangyin are all great talents admired by later generations, and they are basically defeated in the officialdom, and there are few lucky people like Su Dongpo and the two brothers, who have a double harvest in talent and official luck.
When he became famous later, he was just bold and reckless, setting a precedent of openly fighting with weapons in the capital, and everyone laughed at him, but he was just a character who couldn't support the wall, just a gentleman.
In the future, he continued to shoot, especially the murderer who killed the Jinyi Guard, which made everyone impressed. Subsequently, in the case of the White Lotus Sect, there were successive breakthroughs, but the Shuntian Mansion and the Admiral of the Nine Gates were compared all of a sudden.
Both of them were very lonely at this time, and their mood was like a lost dog. In fact, when they climb to their position, they naturally have a backstage, and there are people in the DPRK who are good officials, in other words, there is no one in the DPRK and China, and they cannot be good officials.
But compared to the situation, they feel that they are not worth mentioning at all, and they can't compare with anything.
Li Baihua has been cooperating with some families to find trouble, not necessarily because of that kind of envy, jealousy and hatred, but he wants to step on the top and use the fall to pave the ladder for himself to a higher status, but unfortunately the bamboo basket is empty.
Although Shuntianfu Yin has no grievances and grievances, he regards the Jinyi guard system as a thorn in his side, which is also the common psychology of the ministers.
Now that the two of them have to reposition themselves, should they continue to find the awkwardness of the situation in the future, should they swallow this breath and give in, or fight to the end?
"In the future, he will suffer when he goes to the coast, so he might as well enjoy it now."
Li Baihua suddenly laughed and regained his psychological balance.
"Not only this, I heard that he took the initiative to spy on the Tatar military situation outside the Saiwai, and I was afraid that people would not know about it, so I publicized it first and made it known to everyone. I wondered, no one would do that, would they? Shuntianfu Yin frowned and smiled bitterly.
Moreover, they were full of mysteries, and they couldn't understand them, let alone find any explanation.
"He's not stupid, there must be a big article in it, but we don't know the inside story. This unlucky White Lotus Sect seems to be his lucky charm, and he has appeared several times on the White Lotus Sect, I don't know what's going on. Could it be that he is Zhao Quan's nemesis? Li Baihua was puzzled.
Shuntianfu Yin also nodded, it is true, and the most revealing thing is to kill the three assassins, and also to find that the Great Elder of the White Lotus Sect and the Holy Maiden have infiltrated the capital, this is all a heavenly skill that shakes the government and the opposition, and it is impossible to meet.
The White Lotus Sect and the White Lotus Sect wouldn't be in the same group, otherwise, who would not hesitate to harm themselves to give credit to their enemies? Of course, they can only think about this kind of thing in their hearts, and they dare not say anything.
"Master Li, do you think it's a scam for Lord Guo to go outside the Saiwai?" Shuncheon Fu Yin asked.
"It's hard to say, I feel that he will really go, this person always does things unexpectedly, the more impossible things he is more likely to do, maybe this is not a scam, but a conspiracy, using this trick to paralyze the White Lotus Sect and the Tatar Royal Court." Li Baihua groaned.
"That's too risky, the Tatar royal court is not a suburb of the capital, and when you get there, you can't help him, and it's destined to go and never return." Suncheonfu Yin shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand.
"From any point of view, it is impossible for the emperor to send him to spy on the military outside the Saiwai, and it is impossible to use the personnel of the Jinyi Guard even for negotiation. It stands to reason that the important ministers of the court and the few eunuchs in power in the palace will definitely not approve of this move, but this kid said it himself, and no one seems to strongly oppose it, and the whole thing is an incomprehensible mess. Li Baihua muttered to himself with a confused face.
