Suddenly, Qu Feng woke up from a nightmare, and opened his eyes with rapid breathing, and it was pitch black, obviously it was still in the middle of the night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He couldn't remember how many times he had been awakened from such a nightmare, and Qu Feng hadn't slept well since those White Lotus Sect traitors threatened him with the lives of his family to do things for them. Every time he dreamed, he would be awakened by several repeated and similar scenes, either those traitors suddenly entered the government and killed all the officials who were with him, or the court suddenly sent someone to announce that he was guilty of conspiracy and rebellion, and then took him down and beheaded him.

Especially after the people of Jinyiwei suddenly found him before, this uneasy mood was even stronger, and it also made him dream of being convicted by the court more and more, every night in the middle of the night, he would wake up suddenly, and then find himself covered in sweat.

Tonight was no exception, and although there had been a few strange cases in the city in the past two days—the death of a man in a few houses in the middle of nowhere, and the fact that these men were all armed and able-bodied—kept the prefect busy, it was still difficult for him to sleep peacefully.

At this moment, the sudden awakening made Qu Feng's mind suddenly clearer than usual, and he unconsciously thought of a possibility: Are those dead people related to the White Lotus traitor?

Thinking of this, he propped up the bed with his hands and remembered that he couldn't sleep anymore anyway, so he simply looked at the paperwork in this regard. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned over, he saw a black shadow standing in front of his bed, this sudden change made Qu Feng's body couldn't help but shake and shrink, but he lowered his voice as much as possible and asked, "Who is it?" ”

After the experience of the last time, Qu Feng had accepted a helpless fact, although the prefect's yamen was so unattainable in the eyes of the local people, and he would be in awe even if he looked at it from a distance, but for those guys from the White Lotus Sect, this place was no different from an ordinary inn, they could come and leave if they wanted.

So at this time, although someone appeared in front of him, although he was frightened, he was not too surprised. And in order not to attract others, Qu Feng didn't even dare to shout loudly, so he could only lower his voice and ask the other party's identity.

Qu Feng's reaction was also a little unexpected by the other party, and after being slightly stunned, the man spoke: "Qu Zhifu is really bold, and I admire it." As he spoke, he took the candle with the candlestick on the table not far from the bed, and lit the fire.

With the firelight, Qu Feng squinted slightly, and saw the appearance of the person in front of him, and he was stunned again. This is not a traitor of the White Lotus Sect, but a ...... and the Jinyi Wei who has seen two sides of himself: "Yang ...... Lord Yang? Didn't you go on to the west? Finally, he couldn't help but ask.

Yang Zhen put the candlestick back on the table, then pulled over a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Qu Feng for a while before he spoke: "If it weren't for your reminder from Qu Governor's Mansion, I think I would have led someone headlong into the 100,000 mountains of Guangxi." ”

"Lord Yang, what do you mean by that?" Qu Feng asked with the fear in his heart.

"Qu Zhifu, do you still want to pretend to be confused? The people of the White Lotus Sect are already preparing to cause chaos in Guangxi, and they have even pulled you, the official of the imperial court, so you really can't bear to watch the people under your rule suffer because of this? Yang Zhen stared into his eyes and said these words slowly.

This time, even if Qu Feng pretended to be calm, he couldn't resist it, and his face suddenly changed greatly. Then, he rolled off the bed and knelt in front of Yang Zhen with a plop: "Lord Yang spares his life, and the official ...... Xia Guan was also forced by the situation, so he had to ...... with those rebellious thieves and wronged snakes", and he kowtowed.

"Lift my head up for me!" Yang Zhen scolded, and after Qu Feng raised his head in response, he stared at the other party's pale face and said: "As an official of the imperial court, when you knew that such a major event might cause chaos in Guangxi, you didn't think about reporting it in time so that the local government and the imperial court could be vigilant, but instead helped them cover it up, and even promised to be their internal response, are you really the king of the Ming Dynasty who can't rule you?" ”

was reprimanded by him so violently, Qu Feng was even more shocked that his limbs were so weak that he almost collapsed to the ground. There were tears in his eyes, but it was only because Yang Zhen had just ordered him to look up that he barely supported it, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaguan...... Xia Guan is really helpless, if he doesn't do this, Xia Guan's wife and children will be killed by them......"

"The lives of your wife and children are fate, so the lives of so many people in Guangxi are not?" Yang Zhen reprimanded in a deep voice again. Then, he softened his tone: "I already know your situation, and I know that you really don't have a choice, so I have no choice but to listen to them." Moreover, even if you are still a little bit of a country heart, you deliberately told me the truth when you met me, which made me realize that something was wrong, and thus found the whereabouts of those thieves. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here alone. ”

Although it was a panic, Qu Feng's mind was not completely confused, and he immediately heard some clues from Yang Zhen's words: "What do you mean...... The recent murder cases in this city were all done by the adults you brought with the brocade guards? ”

"That's right, those who were killed were all people from the White Lotus Sect who were hiding here. They have now all been wiped out by our brocade guards. Not only that......" Yang Zhen said, with a smile on his lips: "Your wife and children who were kidnapped by them have also been rescued by us, they are fine, but they are a little frightened." ”

"Is that true?" Hearing that his wife and children had been rescued, Qu Feng, who was excited, couldn't care less about being afraid, and immediately straightened up, looked at Yang Zhen eagerly and asked.

"Of course, is your son round-faced, thirteen years old, named Qu Wenluo, with a birthmark on his left shoulder?"

"Positive...... It was ......" Suddenly, Qu Feng's face showed a look of ecstasy, obviously what Yang Zhen said was true, his wife and children had indeed been rescued by Jinyiwei. While breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but want to kowtow and thank you: "Thank you, Lord Yang, for saving my family's life, and go down...... The subordinates don't know how to express their gratitude......"

"You don't need to be empty." Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "Don't forget your identity." Although you are forced to be helpless when you communicate with the White Lotus traitor, the court will not pay attention to these, if I report truthfully, not only you, but also your family, and the crime on your body is not small, even if you don't die, you have to end up with a distribution and a military conscription. ”

In an instant, the joy on Qu Feng's face quickly dissipated, and he was replaced by a look of self-blame: "It was the lower officials who were confused for a while, so they made such a big mistake, and I hope that Lord Yang will let my family go, they are innocent." ”

Seeing that he had given enough pressure to the other party, Yang Zhen did not continue to exert pressure, so he patted the other party's shoulder and said: "I have written down your charges, if you want to protect yourself and your family, it depends on your performance." If you can break the enemy and make meritorious contributions in this matter, not only can the previous events be written off, but you can also get a reward from the imperial court. Do you see what I mean? ”

This was said so clearly, how could Qu Feng not understand, and quickly nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice: "Xiaguan understands." As long as the adults command, as long as it can be beneficial to the country and Guangxi, it is death, and the lower officials will definitely do their best. ”

"Good." Yang Zhen finally had a smile on his face: "As long as you can make meritorious service this time, this official will naturally not treat you badly." ”

"I wonder what your lordship commands?" At this time, Qu Feng's spirit was much better than before, at least he didn't have to worry and worry as before.

"They want you to block all the news that has passed from here, then we will do the opposite, and you will immediately use the fastest way to send the news that the White Lotus Sect in Guangxi is about to riot in the capital to the capital. In addition, you must immediately prepare your men to deal with the impending rebellion, recruit civilians, and hold the city of Pingle. Once a White Lotus Sect traitor wants to pass through here, he will stop them at all costs. Yang Zhen quickly commanded.

Qu Feng listened attentively, and then nodded vigorously without hesitation: "Xia Guan understands." Although the population of my Pingle Mansion is not too large, the lower officials have the confidence to hold it! ”

"Don't be so sure, in addition to the White Lotus Sect, I'm sure there will be the most foreign people in Guangxi this time, and there are quite a few in this city, right? So for the next few days, you have to pay attention not only to the outside, but also to the inside of the city. ”

At this moment, Qu Feng's face changed slightly. But he still promised: "Xiaguan will definitely try his best not to let Pingle go wrong." ”

"Another point, if there is still no rebellion after you have organized the people...... Yang Zhen said, lowering his voice and speaking softly to him.

After hearing this, Qu Feng's whole person was obviously stunned: "This ...... How can this be done? ”

"Huh? Do you think there's something wrong? Yang Zhen glanced at the other party.

Only then did he think of what kind of identity he was now, not only did he have a handle in Yang Zhen's hands, but even his wife and children were still with Jinyiwei, so although things were difficult to do, he could only agree to it: "Go down...... Xia Guan understands, I will do the same. ”

"Hmm." Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and then stood up from the chair: "Okay, then you will do everything by yourself, I hope that Qu Zhifu will not disappoint the court and me." With that, he opened the door and strode out.

Qu Feng, on the other hand, continued to kneel on the ground with a tangled face, and he couldn't get up for a long time. He really couldn't understand what this Jinyi Guard was up to.
