Chapter 51: The Cake Makes It Bigger
The idle people and others all withdrew from the temple gate, and Qin Lin stretched the deceased's curled left hand open, and there was a bruised mark in his palm, which could be vaguely identified as the shape of a lotus flower!
"What is this?" Zhang Gongyu didn't understand at all.
Wang Jinxian stretched out his hand and shook it in the air, "When the soldier is training, he holds the knife and slashes hard, and after a long time, it will leave traces of the handle of the knife in the palm of his hand. ”
Shi Wei didn't answer for a long time, squatted down and carefully examined the palm of the deceased, then raised his eyebrows and smashed his fist on Qin Lin's shoulder: "Hahaha, Brother Qin, you have made a great contribution!" ”
The poison Qin Lin found in Wang Cai's side was exactly the same as the one he had obtained from Gao Jackal's hand, and when he checked it, he found marks on the deceased's curled palm that matched the mutton fat white jade lotus flower on Gao Jackal's body, so he basically believed that Wang Cai was a cultist of the White Lotus Sect.
Shi Wei reacted like this, Qin Lin's heart was even more determined, and he still pretended to be puzzled on his face: "This imprint, could it be?" ”
"Brother Qin doesn't know that the demon cubs of the White Lotus Sect only have this thing, and in their sect, it is an official seal. Among them, the left and right envoys and the three hall masters used golden lotus, the ten elders used anemone lotus, and the incense master who guarded a certain place used copper lotus, and the remaining small leaders and minions did not have this thing. ”
Shi Wei couldn't help laughing as he spoke, and his face was trembling so much that he almost covered his eyes and nose: "That is to say, the Wang Cai you are chasing is at least a incense master!" The credit for capturing and killing the White Lotus Sect Incense Master must at least keep a small flag! ”
Qin Lin was happy, and couldn't help but wonder if he had gotten a mutton fat white jade lotus flower from Gao Jackal Yu, so what was his identity? After thinking about it, this matter is not a joke, once it leaks out, the assassination of the White Lotus Sect cannot be prevented, and the Jinyi Guard may not be able to completely fool it, so before making sure that nothing goes wrong, it is better to keep your mouth shut.
Remembering that Shi Wei had just said that he could raise the small flag by capturing and killing the White Lotus Sect Incense Master, Qin Lin asked again: "My lord Mingjian, we didn't get his lotus token, and he died by taking poison himself, if you talk about merit, ...... it?"
Shi Wei laughed again, it seemed that he was in an excellent mood, he patted Qin Lin on the shoulder and said:
"Brother Qin, you don't know how difficult it is for the White Lotus Sect to deal with this group of demon cubs, since the rebellion of the Golden Daoist in Mayang last year, and the White Lotus Sect in Jingxiang has risen in more than 20 places, our entire Thousand Households has not captured and killed a leader above the head of the incense master! Although he committed suicide, he was forced to commit suicide by taking poison because of your reluctance to chase him, which is no different from killing him on the spot.
His identity is not a problem, some time ago, there was a senior brother surnamed Gao who came here to open an altar to preach, we caught a lot of low-level disciples, let them identify the corpse, and always find some clues. ”
After Shi Wei finished speaking, he immediately took paper and ink to stretch the marks in the palm of the dead body, he was not afraid of Qin Lin's great merit - as a hundred households, it is always difficult to express his credit for himself in the submission to his boss, and to protect Qin Lin's merits, it is equivalent to saying that he Lord Shi has a good plan, effective measures, and a sense of knowing people.
This kind of truth that everyone carries a sedan chair in the officialdom, Shi Wei has long been aware of the position of a hundred households in brocade.
A few families were happy and a few were sad, Shi Wei and Qin Lin were happy for their merits, and the commander Wang Jinxian had a bitter face, a dejected look, and looked at these two pitifully.
The death of a handmaid in the family, the son messing around and drinking all day long, and even deducting military salaries to fill his pockets, these are not problems, as a hereditary commander, even if he can't recognize the book of the Ministry of War, there are always a few good friends among the officials of the Ministry of War.
However, the housekeeper turned out to be the incense master of the White Lotus Sect, which is serious, and to go deeper, you are a military general who supports the army, and there are demon bandits of the White Lotus Sect at home, but Mayang is still in trouble......
Wang Jinxian was so frightened that his soul flew away, his huge body trembled, and he couldn't stop saying: "The brothers of Jinyiwei are pitifully kept in the dark, and they don't know half a point, they are really wronged!" The White Lotus Sect demon bandits are pervasive, and the lower officials don't know that there are annihilators in the house, Lord Shi wants to know it, by the way, Lord Zhang is also here, Lord Zhang testifies for me, and he has never befriended a rebel in Xiake......"
As he spoke, he grabbed Zhang Gongyu's sleeve and begged bitterly.
Zhang Gongyu avoided him like a plague, but Wang Jinxian's strength as a military general was far greater than that of him, a powerless civil official, and he couldn't get rid of it.
Wang Jinxian saw that Zhang Gongyu refused to take responsibility for him, and turned to Shi Wei and Qin Lin again, and compared with the arrogance of the previous commander of the envoy, Wang Jinxian turned to Shi Wei and Qin Lin.
Shi Wei knew in his heart that it was not about Wang Jinxian, it could be big or small, and the credit that Qin Lin earned was calculated to be beneficial to the entire hundred households, and he wanted to sell him face, so he asked him: "What do you think of Brother Qin?" ”
Wang Jinxian's face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, his waist was lowered, and he bowed straight to Qin Lin, and the dignified three-grade commander made a captain bow so much, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty has never been in the two hundred years since the founding of the country.
Qin Lin thought about it, he had trespassed on the command of the embassy before, and it was well known to argue with Wang Jinxian, in case Wang Jinxian broke the jar and broke the matter and pushed the matter forward, and submitted a document to the command of the envoy and the military department to fight a lawsuit, the huge bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty pulled up kraft candy, I don't know when it will be the head, and my own credit will not be suspended in the air? Who's going to bother with you, a school captain with no roots? It's better to let him go.
"Lord Shi, I think that Lord Wang has no merit."
As soon as Qin Lin's words came out, Wang Jinxian was stunned, he was ready to go to Beijing to go to the military department to fight with Jinyiwei in the ring, and with the help of his old father-in-law, the worst result would be a big deal for dismissal and investigation; But he didn't want Qin Lin to say that he had no merit, which he never expected.
"Commander Wang learned that the White Lotus Sect demon bandits were infested, and ordered troops to help me capture the Jinyi guard, causing the prisoner to be cornered, so he had to take medicine and commit suicide......"
Hearing this, Wang Jinxian was already overjoyed, from the dismissal investigation to the meritorious service award, it was simply from the eighteenth layer of hell to the Western Elysium, he was grateful to Qin Lin, and said that he was willing to kneel down and kowtow.
Qin Linzheng said happily, but when he saw Zhang Gongyu pouting and looking like an angry little daughter-in-law, he smiled secretly in his heart, and said: "Of course, Master Zhang sent the state government to arrest quickly and the people to assist in finding out the escape route of the demon bandits, so that we can lay a net in time so that the demon bandits cannot escape, and we also have a great credit." ”
Zhang Gongyu smiled happily when he boarded, only to feel that Qin Lin really became more and more pleasing to the eye the more he looked at it: Oops~ The two daughters of this official, one is only seven years old, and the older one got married last year, otherwise he would recruit this young man as a son-in-law, it can really be described as a fast son-in-law!
Thinking of the rumors he had heard, Zhang Gongyu couldn't help but be a little envious of Li Shizhen.
Shi Wei put his hands in his sleeves and gave Qin Lin a thumbs up: Wang Jinxian's father-in-law is from a Jiangmen family, and Zhang Gongyu's master, Shen Shixing, is currently a servant of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Dongge University, and he will also bring them in, not only will he not share the credit, but he will make this credit bigger and bigger!
Without further ado, the three parties agreed to go back and make a submission to their superiors, and the same thing Zhang Gongyu reported to Huangzhou Mansion and Huguangcheng to announce the political envoys, Wang Jinxian went to Huguangdu to command the envoys and military departments, and Shi Wei reported to the Qianhu Office and the Beizhen Fusi.
The assignment has been decided, Shi Wei couldn't help but pat Qin Lin on the shoulder again, and laughed: "Brother Qin has made great contributions at a young age, and it is not enough to say that the credit alone, the name of one of your captains will alarm the political envoy of Hu Guangbu and the two commanders of the envoy of the two feudal officials, and even report to the Beijing Division and the Military Department of our Jinyi Weibei Town!" Tsk, this official is at your age, but it's far behind! ”
Qin Lin smiled and lowered his head, and arched his hand: "Thanks to Lord Shi's cultivation." ”
"You guy, you just have a lot of brains!" Shi Wei pretended to be unhappy, but the laughter was clearly bigger and louder.
The plan was decided, and the group walked out of the temple gate.
This time was different from the past, Zhizhou Zhang Gongyu Master Zhang Da and the commander Wang Jinxian sandwiched Qin Lin in the middle from left to right, and their expressions were not only appreciative, but could be said to be flattering and flattering. Shi Wei grinned beside him, and he was even more smiling so much that he couldn't distinguish between his beard and eyebrows.
It's okay for others, Mrs. Liu really didn't understand why her husband was so condescending, and she asked quietly when he came over.
"We dogs bite Lu Dongbin, we don't know the hearts of good people!" Wang Jinxian has thanked Qin Lin hundreds of times in his heart, and now he told the matter as it was, praising Qin Lin as benevolent and righteous, that is, the Shandong and timely rain in the mouth of Mr. Storyteller Song Gongming are not as righteous as him.
Rao is Mrs. Liu's general, and when she heard that Wang Cai was the master of the White Lotus Sect, she was also frightened enough, and patted her heart and said: "Fortunately, Brother Qin helped, otherwise we wouldn't know how to be unlucky, and we will have to thank others in the future-yes, it's not good!" ”
Wang Jinxian hurriedly asked what was wrong, and Mrs. Liu grabbed his ear: "The submission you just sent away in an expedited manner for 800 miles was sent to the Ministry of War to complain, and if you want that submission to go to the Ministry of War first, and here is a post to help capture the demon bandits of the White Lotus Sect, isn't it a slap in the face of each other?" ”
Commander Wang slapped his thigh, "Damn, it's really lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot!" Without delay, he galloped with a few of his own soldiers, and chased after the submission.
Wang Huan, who was lying ill on the sliding pole, laughed when he saw his father being pulled by his mother's ears.
Mrs. Liu's face turned cold, and she slapped her son in the face heavily, leaving five red fingerprints: "Little cub, the old lady won't allow you to mess around anymore!" Remember, if it weren't for Chief Qin's help, your little life, as well as your father's official hat, would have been suspended in mid-air! ”
This side of the carriage is the godson of Sanniang, and there is Xie Qingtian.
The three members of the Liu family already knew that the real culprit was Wang Cai, and after being found out by Qin Lin, they committed suicide in fear of crime, and Liu Wu's revenge can be said to be avenged.
The family knelt in front of Qin Lin, and Liu Hua banged his head: "Benefactor, you are Qingtian!" I Liuhua will repay you for your great kindness and virtue as a cow and a horse, and I will not frown at the sea of swords, mountains and fires! ”
Several brocade-clothed guards smiled: "Brother Qin is a brocade-clothed guard, and there are only a lot of people who are afraid of going to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and you carpenter will also follow?" ”
Qin Lin's heart moved, and he helped the three members of the Liu family up: "Are your father and son carpenters?" ”
