Chapter Ninety-Two: Blame Luan Junjie
Qin Lin had suspected that Xuan Miaoguan had a connection with the White Lotus Sect before, and after taking Huang Lianzu's confession, it could be concluded that it was a branch of the White Lotus Sect in Qizhou.
Although Huang Lianzu refused to admit to befriending the White Lotus Sect no matter what, insisting that he only knew that Xuanji Daoist had dealings with a few masters of the rivers and lakes, judging from the various signs that Xuan Miaoguan took the initiative to intervene in the dispute for the heir of King Jing's Mansion, the conclusion was already about to come out.
As for Huang Lianzu, it is possible that he has always been kept in the dark and does not know the true identity of his collaborators, or it is possible that in order to complete the important event of seizing the throne for his nephew and enjoying the glory and wealth forever as the prince's own uncle in the future, Li Ling Zhiduan cooperated with the White Lotus Sect, pretending to be confused - Qin Lin was not interested in finding out what kind of situation it was, because since the crime of murdering Guo Meimei and blaming Zhu Youfan was exposed, Huang Lianzu's end was already doomed, and hell was his only destination.
Jing King Zhu Changtong, Zongren Mansion Mao Duo and others listened to Qin Lin's analysis, but they were shocked and changed.
As soon as they heard Huang Lianzu's confession, they were already surprised that as a monk, how did Xuan Ji Dao recognize the high-rollers who killed people at every turn, and why did he take the initiative and deeply intervene in the battle for the heirs of the palace? If it is just to collect more incense to worship, it is impossible, Xuanmiaoguan incense is vigorous, over the years in the city of the king's mansion, the general's mansion, the county lord's mansion to give him the offering, even if it takes the next life to go to the end, why bother to risk killing the head to help Huang Lianzu do this business?
The White Lotus Sect became the only plausible explanation.
During the Hongwu period, the palaces of the various kings could control local officials, with several guards of soldiers and horses, and had the strength to rebel and challenge the imperial court.
Zhu Di was worried that his brothers would also come to this hand, and began to cut the feudal domain during his reign; In the Zhengde period, King Ning rebelled, and the imperial court once again reduced the power of the vassal king, and after these two changes, the current princes have long lost the strength to rebel.
However, after seven or eight generations of princes and one or two hundred years of accumulation, the wealth gathered can feed a large army if it is used as military salary; Controlling a prince's mansion as a platform, how many family nobles and civil and military officials can be acquainted, co-opted, and bewitched?
Furthermore, if you hijack a Prince of the Ming Dynasty with the blood of the former emperor and launch a rebellion in his name, the political appeal generated and the heavy blow to the imperial court can be compared?
Thinking of this, everyone from King Jing and below all shuddered.
Zhu Changxun regarded Qin Lin as a reborn parent: "No wonder Master Qin sees that the little king Jinlong's qi has a sign of being cut off!" If it weren't for Master Qin to expose the conspiracy, and after Xiao Wang's death, it would be passed on to Hao'er, and the White Lotus Demon Bandit would have taken advantage of the matter of helping each other to seize the heir, and held him hostage in a vicious and tragic way. ”
Mao Duo reminded beside him: "Forgive the magistrate for being too talkative, after the White Lotus Demon Bandits successfully held the Huang sisters and brothers and the little prince hostage, I'm afraid they won't wait for the Chitose Lord to die - this is a heartfelt statement, Chitose is no wonder that the magistrate is alarmist." ”
King Jing was a little bit by him, and immediately understood the key point, and the cold sweat on his back flowed out at once, soaking the coat at the vest.
Hearing this, Wei Lingxian's expression changed a few times, and he suddenly shook the dust, and his expression was righteous and awe-inspiring: "Such a wolf-hearted and dog-lung man, and ask Gongzi Qin to preside over the capture and kill all of them." Poor Dao has sent two apprentices, Kong Qingzi and Yun Huazi, to go undercover in the Xuan Miao Temple, and when the time comes, the inside and the outside will be able to wipe out the demon bandits! ”
Qin Lin secretly laughed at this old way of beating snakes with sticks, it was really slippery.
"Okay, there are two masters!" King Jing hated Xuan Miaoguan to the core, and immediately ordered the guards to light all the staffs, flags, Chinese troops, and captains, and follow Qin Lin to hunt down the White Lotus Demon Bandits.
Although the officers and soldiers of the Jingwang Mansion Honor and Guard Division have not been on the battlefield with real swords and guns, starting from the prestige of the palace, all the people selected are big men with big shoulders and round waists, tall and strong, and the armor is neat and the weapons are sharp, which can be used to encircle and suppress the demon bandits of Xuanmiaoguan.
But if he did this, Qin Lin's previous arrangement would be in vain, he thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "Chitose is willing to send troops to help, and I feel gracious." However, this is a rebellion by the White Lotus Sect demon bandits, and it is involved in the affairs of the prince's mansion. ”
The sisters and brothers of the concubines of the Jingwang Mansion colluded with the White Lotus Sect to seize the heir, if Zhu Changxun sent troops to help suppress Xuan Miaoguan, it would be as if he would take the opportunity to kill people and destroy the evidence of the crime; After the rebellion of King Ning, the vassal kings were even more vigilant by the imperial court, and the officers and soldiers of the Honor Guard Division were only used for the purpose of serving the honor guards, and they rashly mobilized to encircle and suppress the demon bandits, which was also easy to arouse the suspicion of the imperial court.
When King Jing heard this, he immediately figured it out, and said in a loud voice that he was confused, and asked Qin Lin to preside over the overall situation.
Qin Lin did not give in, and asked King Jing to send an official ship to send him, Lu Yuanzhi and A, B, C and Ding back to Qizhou City overnight, and sent the captains of Jinyi Wei Baihu to encircle and suppress Xuan Miaoguan; Then he invited Huo Chonglou to accompany him and participate in it as a representative of the East Factory.
Huo Chonglou was overjoyed.
Thinking that Jinyiwei would definitely reward Qin Lin and King Jing heavily, he was envious and jealous beside him, and secretly scolded himself for being unlucky, he had a good martial arts, but he couldn't even touch the edge of such a big credit.
How did he know that Qin Lin would actually ask him to participate, at this time, the case was almost over, and only the clear sword and spear were left to attack Xuan Miaoguan, no matter how powerful the White Lotus Sect was, the regular army that could beat the spear and halberd? Qin Lin did this clearly to share a credit out of thin air, if Huo Chonglou didn't agree, he would be an idiot.
The head of the Dongchang stall immediately agreed, holding his beard in his hand, holding his head high, with an expression of not hesitating to serve the country, and his heart was thinking about how much this credit was worth of reward, and whether his official son could be promoted from the chief to the secretary.
Sailing at night is quite dangerous, but there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and Zhu Changxi quickly prepared the largest official ship.
Qin Lin and the others boarded the boat one after another, and everyone on the shore from King Jing down was solemn, shouting in unison: "I wish Lord Qin a victory and success!" ”
It was a summer night when everything was silent, and the shouts were sonorous and passionate, and the dignified prince put on a full guard of honor to send Qin Lin, just like the imperial court secretary sent the general off in the ten-mile long pavilion.
The female soldier on the bow of the ship suddenly burst out laughing: "Gongzi Qin is even more majestic than our eldest lady now." ”
The young lady mentioned by the four female soldiers refers to Qingdai, and the eldest lady is Xu Xinyi, the former lord of the Wei Mansion in Nanjing.
Female soldier B also sighed: "Yes, the eldest lady is hunting, but a few commanders are escorting, let's send troops now, but there is a prince to see him off, wouldn't he become a general who worships the general?" ”
"General, ......" Xiao Ding looked at Qin Lin, and little stars appeared in his eyes.
The female soldier knocked her sister on the head: "Stupid, let's be kidding, he is a hundred households, and he is still 108,000 miles away from the general!" ”
Lu Yuanzhi smiled hesitantly: "The biggest official of our Jinyi Wei is Liu Shouyou Lord Liu, his old man leads the rank of Governor of the Left Capital of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, if Brother Qin achieves the position of Lord Liu in the future, why is he not a general?" ”
"Oh," Xiao Ding nodded honestly, thinking it made sense.
The three daughters of A, B and C knocked on this stupid sister again: "Oh, you are big, do you know how many levels there is a difference between the test hundred households and the commander of the Jinyi Guard?" ”
Huo Chonglou listened to it next to him and thought it was funny, and secretly laughed at these little girls in his heart for being ignorant, but he didn't talk to them because he was a big master of Dongchang.
The boatmen sailed at night, the bow of the boat was lit with torches, the river shone like day, and the boatmen were extremely experienced, and they steered the boat carefully, although it was a little slower than usual, and it was extremely fast to go down the river.
Qin Lin was not worried about leaking the news, Hongjiazhuang went to Qizhou by waterway for thirty miles, they took the official boat down the river, and the civilian boat in Hongjiazhuang was controlled by the officers and soldiers of the Wangfu Yiwei Division, even if there were undercover agents of the White Lotus Sect in King Jing's entourage, they could not drive the boat to Qizhou to report the news; It is even more impossible to take the dry road, the dry road from Hongjiazhuang to Qizhou crosses the mountains and mountains, and goes around in a big circle, even if the horse is fast, when he arrives in Qizhou, Qin Lin has already ordered troops to surround Xuanmiaoguan.
So taking advantage of the time of the boat, Qin Lin took a nap, and when it was dawn, he woke up, and the boat also arrived at the Qizhou wharf.
The royal palace guard escorted to the dock, and there were many military horses tied to the shore, so Qin Lin went over to borrow the horses.
The soldiers guarding the horses recognized this "Master Qin" and lent him the military horses without hesitation.
Seven people flew on the horse, and galloped to the hundred households, Huo Chonglou and Jia, B, and Ding had good riding skills, Qin Lin also rode several times since he joined the Jinyi Guard, only Lu Yuanzhi couldn't sit on the saddle bridge, his fat body swayed on the horseback, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and the horse was so tired that he snorted...... Just at the time of the o'clock, Qin Lin asked the four female soldiers and Huo Chonglou to wait at the door, and took Lu Yuanzhi in.
The new Baihu Luan Junjie is foaming at the mouth of the captains, he has been beating and pulling in the past few days, after all, he is the official of the Baihu Household, but he has also attracted a lot of people, so he gradually shook his majesty again.
Seeing that Qin Lin was here, he said sharply: "Why are you late again?" Point to point, should have come at the time, and now the grace is still late at the end of the hour, it's really naughty! Let's eat the food and salary of the emperor's family, but we are so slack, do we still have a bit of public loyalty to the country? ”
There were a few captains who saw the wind and made the rudder echo, but most of them watched coldly, obviously not on Luan Junjie's side.
Qin Lin remained silent, hugged his fists and said: "Concubine Huang of Jingwangfu and Huang Lianzu are suspected of colluding with the demon bandits of the Xuanmiaoguan White Lotus Sect, murdering the maid Guo Meimei, and blaming the eldest prince Zhu Youfan, Huang Lianzu has been questioned. Now please Lord Luan give an order, lead all the brothers to send out the mystical view, and arrest the White Lotus Sect demon bandits! ”
When Luan Junjie heard that Huang Lianzu was involved, he immediately raised his heart, he was promoted by Yu Qianhu, and Huang Lianzu was Yu Qianhu's son-in-law...... "You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Luan Junjie shouted angrily: "Didn't you coax me? Lying about the military is a big crime! ”
Qin Lin stepped a few steps, turned his back to the captains on the martial arts field, and his face was only at Luan Junjie alone, and he squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Why, Lord Luan is suspicious of me for coaxing you?" Are you a three-year-old? The truth of this matter is not half false! ”
Although Qin Lin's voice was very upright and bright, the sarcastic smile on his face was clearly saying, "Luan Junjie, what about Lao Tzu playing tricks on you?" ”
Luan Junjie was teased on the day he took office, and he slapped Chen Sihai in the face, so he was strictly wary of Qin Lin and others, and when he saw this, he didn't believe it even more, and sneered: "It's nonsense!" This officer just doesn't send troops, how are you going? ”
Right in the middle!
Qin Lin turned his face and pretended to be angry at the school captains: "Lord Luan is too unreasonable, how can he abolish the public because of personal gain?" Brethren, he does not give orders, let us go ourselves, come with me! ”
Chen Sihai, Han Feilian and the others had already made preparations, and immediately beckoned the captains who had a good relationship to follow Qin Lin, and in the blink of an eye, most of the martial arts arena was empty, and the rest were either desperately following the new hundred households, or hesitating - of course, they would soon regret today's decision.
Luan Junjie was so angry that he yelled at Qin Lin's back: "This official wants to be a supreme official and violate military discipline!" Let's wait for the dismissal investigation! ”
Huo Chonglou, who was standing at the door, saw this scene in his eyes, and he had already admired Qin Lin so much, there were people in the world who had such a strategy and this kind of city! Perhaps, he will really become...... Huo Stall's pitiful and disdainful glance at Luan Junjie, spat on the ground, and scolded in a low voice: "It is precisely you stupid who will be dismissed and investigated!" ”
