Chapter 426: The Dust Settles (I)

Whether it is today or in the future, Jinyiwei has always been criticized as a flood beast. The reason for this www.biquge.info is that in addition to the fact that they monitor the officials, obey only the emperor's will, and break away from the judicial procedures valued by the scholar class, the more important reason is that they are endless, making people commit all kinds of torture that is worse than death.

According to a certain senior of the Jinyi Guard, as long as the official who was taken into the edict by them, no matter what his previous character was, how much he regarded death as home, as long as he wanted to get something from his mouth, or wanted him to say something, there was almost nothing that could not be done. There are only a very few hard bones who can still grit their teeth and persevere to the end in the edict, but there are only one or two of these people in tens of millions.

Although what this senior said may be exaggerated, at least one thing is certain, under the torture of Jin Yiwei, there are really few people who can keep their secrets. Naturally, these thieves in front of him were no exception, and after one night, a detailed confession was handed over to Yang Zhen.

After reading this still brief confession, Yang Zhen showed a deep thought: "It's them again, I can't imagine that their hands have actually reached out from the people to the army, what a deep plot." Knowing that things were not simple, Yang Zhen hurriedly took his confession and went directly to Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu, who had slept for more than two hours, was not in good spirits, but after seeing the confession handed over by Yang Zhen, he slammed a spirit: "Is this actually the hands and feet of the bandits of the White Lotus Sect behind the scenes?" ”

Yang Zhen also nodded a little heavily: "It shouldn't be wrong, it was those thieves who confessed it themselves." They said that it was a person named Xu Chongchuan who ordered them to do all this, although the leader named Wei Quan had not yet confessed, but there was no doubt that all this was a conspiracy laid by the White Lotus Sect. ”

"This matter is tricky......" Zhong Yu rubbed his hands a little uneasily: "We must find out the whereabouts of the other thieves as soon as possible and catch them all." And this matter must be reported to the imperial court as soon as possible......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Zhen's words: "Don't, adults!" ”

This was the first time that Yang Zhen had interrupted his speech so rudely, which made Zhong Yu a little surprised, and he forgot to be anxious for a while, looked at him and said, "What does Erlang mean by this?" ”

"My lord, judging from the current situation, in fact, those White Lotus Sect thieves did not succeed, they only instigated Nie Fei to lead people to mutiny, and then did not control any army. But if we had reported it truthfully, it would have been a completely different story. Yang Zhen said with a melancholy face.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Yu also admitted Yang Zhen's judgment that once the matter was linked to the White Lotus Sect, the imperial court's attention to it would inevitably increase exponentially, and the matter would inevitably have to be investigated again and again, and even the garrisons in Shanxi would have to be checked before it could stop.

Yang Zhen saw him groaning, so he explained: "It's not that I don't want to report this matter truthfully because I see that the case is about to end and I don't want to make trouble. It's really that Shanxi is too important to the imperial court, and it's really chaotic, so this matter can't be allowed to affect the morale of the army here. And have you ever thought about it, once the imperial court learns that Nie Fei was taught by the White Lotus to rebel, what will it think of them? I'm afraid that not only will I want to pardon their crimes, but even their lives will be ......."

Zhong Yu couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about it. There is indeed a great possibility that the matter will be as Yang Zhen said, and it may even be more serious than what he said. The imperial court would not have trusted these mutinous soldiers as much as before, and if they were still related to the White Lotus Sect, then there would only be one fate left for them - to be killed. Even if it is difficult to do it for a while, the imperial court will inevitably find a suitable opportunity to kill them all in the future.

Zhong Yu didn't want to kill these people, they were really forced to mutiny, and they didn't deserve death. So after a moment of silence, he said, "Then in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" ”

"First, we sent people to find these White Lotus Sect thieves and sweep them away to prevent similar things from happening again; second, hurry up and bring back those rebellious soldiers who are in Taihang Mountain; The third is to keep the matter a secret and not report it, as if nothing had happened. Yang Zhen already had a complete set of countermeasures at this time, so he came one by one.

After some weighing, Zhong Yu agreed to his proposal: "Just do what you want, Erlang, only a few people such as you and I know about this matter, we must keep it a secret, otherwise our situation will be very bad." "It's about the White Lotus Sect, if they don't report it, even they can't afford to bear it.

Yang Zhen nodded solemnly, and then said: "But I think it's better for Nie Fei to know about this matter, so that he can promote the matter of surrender as soon as possible." ”

"Well, it's up to you to talk to him, and I hope he understands our difficulties." Zhong Yu nodded, but his heart was still quite heavy, it was related to the White Lotus Sect, and every official in the DPRK and China would feel a lot of pressure.

In fact, even if there was no such thing, Nie Fei had already made up his mind to cooperate with the government as soon as possible to get the matter of surrendering. This is not only because he knows the difficult situation of those brothers in Taihang Mountain, who are hungry and cold, but also for his own wife and children.

Just this morning, Wen Wan took Yun Xian and her daughter to Xingyuan. When she was notified by the government that there was something important for her whole family to arrive, she thought that something was going on on Nie Fei's side, and she was really worried about it for a while.

But after being ushered into one of the rooms and seeing the man who was smiling and looking at him tenderly with affectionate and apologetic eyes, everything was left behind by gentleness. She would never have thought that she would see her husband Nie Fei here, who was thinking about it day and night, and worried about her stomach.

With his daughter's happy call of "Daddy", he plunged into his arms, Nie Fei finally couldn't control it anymore, stepped forward in two steps, and hugged his wife and daughter tightly into his arms: "It's hard for you......"

At this moment, Wen Wan completely forgot the reserve she should have as a woman, and hugged Nie Fei's tiger waist tightly, tears flowed uncontrollably: "Nie Lang, you finally came back safely...... I'm worried about dying, I'm afraid that something will happen to you outside, so what can I do with my daughter and me? You don't want to do such stupid things again......"

"I promise you, I'll never do this kind of thing again, as long as our family is neat, we don't care about anything!" While patting the gentle back to comfort her, Nie Fei looked at Yun Xian again: "Yun Xian, thank you for taking care of your aunt before, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that their mother and daughter would ......."

"Uncle......" Yun Xian's eyes were also a little moist, but he held back his tears, since he was a child, he had accepted the teaching of men to shed blood, sweat and tears, even at this time, he still endured himself: "Of course I want to protect my aunt and sister, you don't have to thank me." ”

It took a long time for the family to calm down. Then, Wen Wan thought of something important: "Nie Lang, have you already returned to the imperial court?" Where are the others? ”

Nie Fei shook his head lightly: "Although I already have this intention, this thing has not yet come true." The other brothers are still hiding in the Taihang Mountain. ”

"Huh? We'll have to get them back quickly, it's ...... weather now."

"I know, in fact, I made up my mind last night to go back and bring people back as soon as possible, we were used by someone this time, we can't be used as guns all the time!"

Just as Wen Wan wanted to ask a few words about the inside story, Yang Zhen's slightly nervous face appeared in front of the door: "General Nie, I shouldn't have come to disturb you when you reunite with your family, but the matter is urgent, and I can't take care of it at this time." ”

Seeing that Yang Zhen said solemnly, Nie Fei didn't feel a little nervous, and after letting go of his wife and daughter, he walked to the door: "Please also ask Yang Qianhu to speak bluntly." ”

"I just asked about the identities of those thieves who wanted to turn against you last night, they are from the White Lotus Sect. In other words, it was the White Lotus Sect, which had been the confidant of the imperial court, who had encouraged you to launch a mutiny, and you had a relationship with them! ”

"What?" Nie Fei's face also changed sharply when he heard this: "How can this be? Although he was full of suspicion and wariness of these people's intentions before, he did not expect that the truth would be so. Although he was only a soldier, he had heard of the White Lotus Sect, an existence that was deeply hated by the imperial court, and knew that if anything was linked to it, it would inevitably cause great trouble.

"I haven't figured out the reason yet, but one thing is urgent." Yang Zhen said in a stern tone: "That is, we have to hurry up and bring back the people and horses in Taihang Mountain." Otherwise, once you let the thieves of the White Lotus Sect seize the opportunity of your absence to do something in it, then I am afraid that everything will be irreparable. ”

"Not bad!" Nie Fei also quickly came back to his senses, he was not there, those brothers were not so determined, and they were told to attack the surrounding states and counties, but I was afraid that even if Lord Zhong was tolerant, it would be impossible to forgive everyone's crimes. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Then I will set off and rush back to Datong as soon as possible." ”

Yang Zhen looked at him for a while, and then nodded: "Okay, but for the sake of safety, I hope to send some brothers to protect the general to go with me, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by thieves again." ”

Although he knew that this might be a sign that Yang Zhen was suspicious of himself, Nie Fei still agreed. Then he looked at his wife and daughter apologetically: "Wan'er, we are going to separate again just after we met." But don't worry, I will always be by your side after this time! ”

"Hmm!" Wen Wan nodded as her name: "You go, be careful all the way!" "She is a well-informed woman, and she knows that this is not the time to talk about children's affection.
