Chapter 189: The Death of the Second Prince of Song
Before dawn on the second day, Lin Yi and Wang Meng ordered 200 cavalry and 300 infantry to really attack Dongzhen Village. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Listen to the villagers, the prefect came to arrest the Maitreya rebels who were misleading the people, and they were not allowed to go out, and they were walking around on the streets, and they were killed!" Six or seven soldiers shouted loudly, and the order was passed to every area of the village.
The residence of the Maitreya bandits was a very large mansion, which was originally the residence of a landlord's family, and was later bought by the Maitreya bandits as a place of contact. Lin Yi rushed to the outside of the mansion with the officers and soldiers, and first sent someone to surround the courtyard, and a soldier kicked open the gate and rushed in together.
Yikes! It's really strange, even if the gate of the mansion is not guarded, why is there no one in the mansion? The soldiers who were the first to break in were startled by this unusual scene, and instead walked slowly, searching the house carefully. A soldier cautiously pushed open the second door, glanced inside, then shouted in surprise, ran back, and said to Lin Yi and Wang Meng: "My lord, it's not good!" Inside...... The people inside are all dead! ”
"All dead?" Lin Yi was also surprised, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to rush into the mansion inside to search carefully, while he waited a little before he and Wang Meng walked into the second gate to see.
In the middle courtyard and the innermost house, there were seventeen or eighteen bodies of Maitreya bandits, and they died in a very miserable state, and many people opened their eyes before they died, revealing their unwilling and resentful looks. Lin Yi looked over one by one, and when he walked to a side room in the inner house, he saw a person sitting in a chair, with his head upturned and a short sword stuck in his chest, which was his sworn enemy Song Xiaobao.
"This ...... What's going on? Song Xiaobao has a respected position in the Maitreya Sect, how could he be killed for no reason? Don't...... Is there a third big force in this Zhengding Mansion? Lin Yi thought of Zhou Dechang's mysterious death, the theft of scriptures in his bedroom, and the murder of Song Xiaobao now, and immediately gasped, and felt a tremble in his heart.
Now it is certain that there is a very mysterious and terrifying force in this Zhengding Mansion, and their people are lying in wait among the Maitreya bandits and around themselves, and they can kill Song Xiaobao unknowingly, and they also threaten their lives at all times.
"My lord, look at ......" Wang Meng looked at Song Xiaobao's corpse and bowed down and asked.
Lin Yi pondered and said, "You go and arrest Li Zheng in Dongzhen Village, ask him, and let's go back!" With that, he shook his head suspiciously, turned and walked to the door.
Li Zheng of Dongzhen Village is indeed a Maitreya cultist, but when he asked him how Song Xiaobao died, he shook his head vigorously, saying that he didn't know.
Sure enough, the person who started was a very clever opponent, and he didn't leave half a flaw. Lin Yi thought for a while, but found nothing, so he had to walk back to Zhengding Mansion City with people.
This Song Xiaobao was killed, and the Maitreya sect in Zhengding Mansion lost their backbone, so naturally no one would call on the common people to rebel. In the next few days, Lin Yi sent people to arrest a lot of small leaders of the Maitreya Sect and tortured them, but they did not get the slightest useful clues.
"That's right! And a Big Buddha Temple? Which abbot Yilong monk is very suspicious, Wang Meng, you quickly take someone and arrest him to see me! Lin Yi ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Wang Meng bowed down to receive the order, and immediately ordered a battalion of people to rush to the Big Buddha Temple to arrest people, and soon brought people back, and replied to Lin Yi: "My lord, the Big Buddha Temple is now an empty temple, and all the monks in it have run out, and which Yilong monk doesn't know where to go!" ”
"Ran!" Lin Yi was stunned for a long time, and slapped it on the table hatefully to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Draw a picture now! Catch the whole house! Lin Yi gritted his teeth and ordered.
"Yes! My lord! Wang Meng took the order and went out.
Lin Yi sat back in the chair weakly, rubbing his head and thinking about the current matter.
Never mind! Since you can't figure out some things for the time being, don't think about it, it's still important to deal with the things in front of you. The bandits of Qinglong Mountain were exterminated, and the leader of the Maitreya bandits was suddenly killed. In this good situation, who are the people in the court who look at us unpleasantly, I am afraid that they will soon find us trouble. Therefore, how to write a concerto, please the emperor, and fight against the traitors in the court has become an urgent task at present.
"Someone! Let's go Zhang Zhuan and Yan Tixing, please come, I want to discuss things with them!" Lin Yi commanded.
A servant flew away to deliver the message, and after a while, Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing came with smiles on their faces, and discussed with Lin Yi about writing a chapter for the emperor.
"Two adults, this is the piece I have prepared, please take a look at it!" After Lin Yi warmly beckoned the two to sit down, he showed Yan Tixing and Zhang Ji the recital he had prepared.
Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing looked at it together, and saw three things written on the chapter. The first thing is that although the bandits of Qinglong Mountain have been exterminated in Zhengding Mansion and the first evil of Maitreya Sect has been punished, there are still many Maitreya Sect members in the territory, and their activities are also rampant. The second thing is that this time the bandits of Qinglong Mountain were exterminated and the family property of the Duke of Anping County was confiscated, and a large amount of grain and a large amount of gold and silver treasures were obtained, which will be transported to the capital in the near future and handed over to the court and the emperor. This is followed by the names and numbers of a large list of possessions. The third thing is to request that the military strength of Zhengdingfu be strengthened and the troops and horses of the Ti Zhi Division will be expanded to cope with possible sudden changes. In the recital, Lin Yi exaggerated the role of Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing in it, and boasted about the military exploits of the Zhang Wukui brothers, but did not say a word to himself.
"My lord, what's so embarrassing? Exterminate the bandits of Qinglong Mountain and the ringleader of the Maitreya Sect, you are the first to make a contribution! How can the two of us be greedy? Zhang Ji said with a grin.
Lin Yi smiled and said: "The merits of the two adults are not small, my merits do not need to be mentioned, without the permission of the emperor, I am afraid that he has scolded me to death now, how dare I ask for credit for myself?" This matter will not be mentioned again, and the two adults will see that it is suitable, so they will sign it, and this master will send this piece to it! ”
Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing glanced at each other, signed their names on the recital, and talked to Lin Yi about official business for a while, and then left! Lin Yi immediately ordered someone to hurry up and send this piece to the court, while he waited anxiously for the news.
"My lord, the Duchess of Anping County has mourned Zhou Dechang yesterday, and she will return to the capital with his brother tomorrow, she asked me to bring you a word, and I want you to meet you in Shili Pavilion outside the city tomorrow!" Zhang Wukui looked at Lin Yi's room and preached to him with a smile.
"Got it!" Lin Yi also smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, what kind of silver we got in Qinglong Mountain, you can also take it tomorrow and transport it back with the brothers of the dart game!" One is to protect me secretly...... Madam! Second, it is not safe to put a large amount of money here. After returning to Beijing, you want to help me buy a piece of land in the capital, and the name of the land should be written in the name of my new lady first! In the future, when I go back, I want to do something big on some piece of land. ”
"What kind of land are you going to do?" Zhang Wukui asked in surprise.
Lin Yi said with a smile: "It's still secret for the time being, anyway, it's a great cause to benefit the country and the people and make a fortune!" Just do it! ”
"Yes! My lord! Zhang Wukui smiled and agreed. (To be continued.) )
