Shi Wei was elated, Qin Lin was happy, this black-bellied man still guarded the system of his subordinates on his face, and said modestly: "It is all thanks to Lord Shi's command, if the measures are well planned, and the careful deployment is made in advance, in order to thwart the White Lotus Sect's demon bandits' plot to assassinate General Deng." It's a pity that Xiaguan's martial arts are not proficient, and in order to protect General Deng, he has no time to pursue, so the head of the White Lotus Sect escapes, and Xiaguan asks for punishment. ”

In fact, security measures were arranged in advance, and at the time of the crime, it was found that Elder Wei pretended to be Ma Yong and intended to assassinate Deng Zilong, and rushed to uncover the conspiracy in time, a series of things are Qin Lin's credit, but when he said this, it was naturally an old routine in officialdom - when later generations wrote a summary report after solving the case, they still put "in accordance with the wise instructions of a certain leader" and "under the direct guidance of a certain bureau chief" at the forefront.

Sure enough, Shi Wei's smile became more and more comfortable, there are not many capable subordinates, and those who take the initiative to share the credit with their bosses after meritorious service are more agreeable, Qin Lin is so knowledgeable and interesting, isn't he still happy?

"Although the person who escaped was always wearing a human skin mask, his kung fu couldn't hide it," Shi Wei lowered his voice, and his tone was a little afraid: "Which one are you?" The Ten Elders of the White Lotus Demon Sect ranked fourth, and the ghost hand stabbed the soul of Wei Tianya! A pair of heaven and earth net soul smashing hands are superb, waiting for leisure is not his opponent, this official can't even catch his ten moves, thanks to General Deng here...... It's a fluke that we can repel him, and you still want to keep him? ”

Qin Lin was afraid at this time, Wei Tianya's martial arts were really powerful, thinking back to the battle just now, maybe he couldn't even stop him with three moves. Deng Zilong has been fighting against the Japanese for many years, and his marksmanship of killing countless enemies on the battlefield is still not his opponent, and Wei Tianya's strength can be imagined.

Shi Wei raised his voice again and said loudly: "This time, it is thanks to Qin Zongqi's praise for the painting and the sacrifice of life to fight with the assassins, so that General Deng and the Qizhou civil and military officials can be safe." Qin Zongqi fought bloodily, suffered more than 20 knife wounds of all sizes and did not retreat, personally killed one elder of the White Lotus Demon Sect and one incense master, and seized two Demon Sect Lotus Seal Letters, which made great contributions! ”

Qin Lin was still laughing secretly when he heard it, what kind of more than 20 knife wounds of all sizes were exaggerated when reporting to his boss, coaxing ghosts, when Lao Tzu Yang Zaixing fought a bloody battle against Xiaoshanghe? Hearing this, Shi Wei announced that he had killed the White Lotus Sect Elder and the Incense Master, and Qin Lin hurriedly made his eyes: "Lord Shi, Wei Tianya has already run away......

Shi Weiqiu's entangled face showed an unprecedentedly exaggerated smile: "Although Wei Tianya ran away, there are other elders who have been killed, well, we have two lotus seals of silver and bronze, and there are a few assassins who have been killed over there, who can say that there is no elder inside?" ”

Qin Lin suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the only way to ask for merit in the Ming officialdom.

For example, if you are beheaded on the battlefield and count the number of heads, as for whether the enemy soldier was killed, died of plague by himself, or fell off the horse and died, it doesn't matter, the head is the merit.

The same is true this time, as long as you have two lotus tokens of silver and bronze, you can take the corpse of an assassin and report it to the elder and incense master of the White Lotus Demon Sect.

"Brother, my actual deputy thousand households can't run," Shi Wei said to Qin Lin with a smile: "You are a hundred households to protect General Deng and Qizhou Chengcheng Wenwu, and kill the elders of the Demon Sect on the spot, in my opinion, even if it is a hundred households." ”

If Shi Wei is actually appointed as the deputy Qianhu, he will be promoted to the Wuchang Qianhu Office, and he still wants to let his people take charge of the Qizhou Baihu Office, so he will clearly say that he will definitely make a letter to the Qianhu Institute and recommend Qin Lin to succeed him.

Qin Lin was happy in his heart: "Xiaguan Xie Shi's auspicious words, the grace of the pluck, I am grateful." ”

The brocade guards of the 100 households in Qizhou were all happy, although the credit was mainly Shi Wei and Qin Lin's, but the entire 100 households would be rewarded, and each person would not be able to run away with a small bounty.

At first, the captain of Jinyi felt that Qin Lin was making a big fuss, and even had to take care of the toilet and kitchen, which seemed to be too cautious; But after the assassination incident, they were secretly afraid and admired Qin Lin's foresight.

Just imagine, if these places in the back kitchen are not strictly guarded, as long as the assassins of the White Lotus Sect poison the dishes, won't the civil and military officials in the city and Deng Zilong all die inexplicably?

The school captain who has a heart and a lively mind guessed that he had made a new contribution this time, Shi Wei already had the title of deputy thousand households in front of him, and most of them were about to become actual awards, and he was promoted to serve in Wuchang, so who succeeded the hundred households in Qizhou? Although the qualifications of Chen Sihai, another chief bannerman, are far older than Qin Lin, he is an official and has no great merits, I'm afraid he doesn't have the luxury of being a hundred households, right?

The captain of Jinyi, who is keen on fame, has quietly planned to have a relationship with Qin Linlala. Because Han Feilian had more contact with Qin Lin, he was also regarded as his cronies, and he became a little hot for a while.

Elder Wei was extremely skillful, and since he had already escaped over the wall, he didn't want to catch up anymore, so Shi Wei and Qin Lin didn't send anyone to chase them, but tried the captured assassins, and maybe they could find new clues.

Shi Wei gestured with his eyes, and seven or eight Jinyi lieutenants brought up the three assassins who were captured alive, and the Lord of the Hundred Households sneered: "Since you are against the Ming Dynasty, the punishment of our Jinyi Guard must be clear, if you don't confess honestly, the eighteen sets of punishments will be like eighteen layers of hell, and the iron and stone people will have to speak." ”

All three of the assassins had been seriously injured, especially the burning bubbles on their faces, all of which were shiny.

The leader stared at Shi Wei viciously, and then gouged out Qin Lin's eyes viciously: "Dog officer, make this deceitful method catch us, I'm afraid you are not a hero!" The catastrophe is in the darkness of the world, the moon is lightless, Maitreya is born, we respect the childless mother, return to the vacuum hometown, you are a dog official waiting for the soul to fly away! ”

Shi Wei's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but before he could give the order, the assassin smiled and said, "Brothers, what are you waiting for? ”

Qin Lin secretly said that it was not good, and was about to reach out to remove the assassin's jaw, but when he saw that he broke his teeth, the poison hidden in his teeth was bitten through, and his face turned gray, and the light in his eyes dimmed very quickly, and he whimpered after a few convulsions.

Two other Assassins followed in his footsteps, and in an instant, only three corpses were left that could not speak.

Qin Lin was caught off guard, watching the three of them commit suicide by taking poison, secretly admiring the secretiveness, cruelty, and ruthlessness of the White Lotus Sect, and reminding himself to be extremely cautious in dealing with the White Lotus Sect in the future.

Shi Wei was indispensable, since the assassins were all dead and could not find a confession, it would be more convenient for him to use such a small role as an elder of the White Lotus Sect to ask for merit.

Jinyiwei rejoiced, and Deng Zilong stood in front of the two sacrificed soldiers in silence: these two soldiers had followed him to fight in Fujian and Zhejiang for many years, and they died on the battlefield, killing many Japanese soldiers, and they did not die on the battlefield in a dignified manner, but they died at the hands of the assassins, and Deng Zilong, as the main general, was extremely sad.

Zhang Gongyu and Wang Jinxian always accompanied Deng Zilong with kind words and comfort, although General Deng was not injured, but something happened at the reception banquet in Qizhou, and he also brought two other people's personal soldiers to die, and the two of them felt a little guilty anyway.

Wang Jinxian was even more cold sweat and soaked his back, lamenting how his luck was so bad, the incense master of the White Lotus Sect in front of him hid in his house as a housekeeper, which was already terrifying, and this time a group of people disguised themselves as officers from the Zhongzuo Institute under his jurisdiction assassinated Deng Zilong, and the location was still in the command of the envoy Yamen, and it was really yellow mud that fell into the crotch of his pants - not but and .

The only hope is that Deng Zilong is magnanimous, don't report this matter to the Ministry of War, even if you compensate the two pro-soldiers for the burning silver and settlement expenses, Wang Da Commander is willing, anyway, the cost of the army's grain and grass and repairing the military ships is extremely huge, and there is a lot of oil and water that has been stained by his hands.

Wang Jinxian didn't know that Deng Zilong was grieving for the two personal soldiers, but he only saw him with a black face, thinking that he was determined to join him as a commander, so his heart was like fifteen buckets of water - seven up and eight down. You must know that now is the time for the front-line to employ personnel, and Deng Zilong will go to the case one by one, and the military department will most likely take care of his face.

Shi Wei and Qin Lin walked over and bowed to Deng Zilong: "The subordinate guards are not careful, so General Deng is frightened, and he is ashamed." ”

Deng Zilong Yu Shiwei only maintained his politeness on the surface, but he was extremely enthusiastic about Qin Lin, and praised repeatedly: "I didn't expect that there are such young heroes among the factory guards!" It wasn't for you to stir up the situation just now, the old man had already died under the hands of the leader of the White Lotus Sect...... I didn't expect you to have such courage and courage to come forward at a critical juncture......"

Qin Lin stuck out his tongue when he heard this, is your old man praising or hurting people? What didn't I expect that there are also young heroes among the factory guards, what martial arts are inferior, can you not be so direct?

As everyone knows, Deng Zilong is too tactful and always offends people, so he has fought on the battlefield for decades and made countless contributions, and only now has he been promoted to a small general, which inevitably has the taste of Li Guang's difficulty.

Shi Wei didn't think much when he heard it, anyway, Jinyiwei and Zhejiang Bing, an intelligence spy system and a regular army, couldn't urinate a pot in the first place.

However, Qin Lin admired Deng Zilong as a national hero, asked him about the story of the anti-Japanese war back then, and always asked the point, Deng Zilong was tickled by him and talked endlessly, and the two hit it off at first sight.

Wang Jinxian asked Qin Lin to say the item on his behalf, Deng Zilong was a little unhappy with Qizhou Weiben, but looking at Qin Lin's face, plus the refurbishment of ships and replenishment of grain and grass required Qizhou Wei's cooperation, he didn't care about himself.

Wang Jinxian was grateful to Qin Lin for his good life, and handed him a small box while people were not paying attention: "Please ask Qin Zongqi to smile at some small meanings, don't be too thin." ”

Knowing that after this errand was done, Commander Wang made a lot of progress, so Qin Lin was naturally respectful and might as well obey his orders.

Reorganize the banquet, sing and dance again, the civil and military officials at the banquet are full of rhetoric, most of them praise Deng Zilong's wonderful marksmanship, and many people boast that Qin Lin is witty and brave.

When parting, Qin Lin couldn't help but put forward two suggestions to Deng Zilong: first, in the future, he must kill the slaves who are caught, and he must not be connived at and forgiven; Second, when you go to sea to fight in the future, don't stand on an unprotected deck.

Deng Zilong was confused when he heard it, but he still solemnly agreed.

Qin Lin snickered as he walked: Emperor Taizu Gao of the Later Jin, your old man has no chance......
