Chapter 192: Backwards
A few feathers in the air fluttered dàngdàng, the pigeon was firmly nailed to death by the feather arrows, and the blood stained the white feather máo.
Sadly, it is not a symbol of peace, but a terrible message of death.
The courtyard was pushed open, Qin Lin Shi Ran walked in, and Zhang Zixuan and Lu Fatzi rushed in.
Huo Chonglou, who followed closely, heard Qin Lin muttering in a low voice, "Tianma stewed rǔ pigeon tastes good", he couldn't help laughing, straightened his face, and pointed at Master Bai with a bow and arrow.
"What's going on?" Chen Wangmo asked eagerly, he heard the report of the pro-soldiers Qin Lin went straight into the backyard with the brocade-clothed governor Liu Shouyou in his hand, and then he hurried over with the pro-soldiers, and when he saw Qin Lin, he asked anxiously, and the spit almost touched his face:
"Qin Lin, have you recovered Caoyin? How did you break into the official line, dare Cao Yin not find it?! You relied on Liu Shouyou's commission to act recklessly, and you came to ......"
Without waiting for Chen Wangmo to finish speaking, Qin Lin stared at him fiercely, even if Chen Wangmo was a military attaché, he was so excited by the coldness in his eyes that he shuddered, and said casually: "Uncle, stop it, this Master Bai under your hand is not simple!" ”
What the? Chen Wangmo suspiciously turned his gaze to his most trusted guest.
Master Bai, who was still smug just now, quickly changed his mind, barely suppressed his mind, and asked with a smile: "Chief Qin, why did you fall on the pigeons raised below?" If you want to eat stewed rǔ pigeons in Tianma, go buy vegetable pigeons for the chief under the ......"
Smack, smack, smack! Qin Lin sneered and applauded rhythmically: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the master of the White Lotus Demon Sect, powerful, powerful, and still lying and quibbling - I just don't know what is tied to the feet of the pigeon you fed?" ”
Chen Wangmo was taken aback, Qin Lin clearly said that Master Bai was a bandit of the White Lotus Sect, if this was true...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The fat man walked over, stepped on the stool to cushion his feet, and wanted to pull out the arrow that nailed the pigeon, but he didn't expect Huo Chonglou's profound skills, this arrow was nailed into the rafters very deeply, and he couldn't pull it out with his old nose, so he had to untie the paper scroll tied to the pigeon's feet.
"To Elder Duan: It's done, and you can make all the brothers start immediately", Lu Fatzi read the words on the paper scroll, and said in surprise: "Strange, who is Elder Duan?" There is an elder in Jinshan Temple, but he is not surnamed Duan, and the brothers from all walks of life immediately launched it, and the monk is not in a hurry to do the water and land dojo! ”
Qin Lin looked at Master Bai playfully, his smile full of mockery.
Knowing that he had been recognized, Master Bai calmed down, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he arched his hand and asked, "I don't know where the flaws are exposed?" If the chief of Meng Qin tells the truth, he will be blind to death! ”
When Li Qiu and Huang Gonggong heard the word "flawed", they already knew that Master Bai had admitted their identities, and they immediately opened their mouths and looked at Chen Wangmo in disbelief; And this Caoyun chief military officer, Ping Jiangbo, was even more dumbfounded, pointing at Master Bai's hand and trembling, and asked unwillingly: "You, who are you?" ”
"Qi Qi Dong Weng, the student is really a member of the White Lotus Holy Sect," Master Bai smiled slightly, although his posture was humble, his voice was not without ridicule, and then he straightened his chest, put his hands on his chest in the shape of a lotus bloom, and said proudly: "Vacuum hometown, no biological mother, the upper should be killed, and the prosperous world will come out!" ”
White, White Lotus Sect! Chen Wangmo fell to the ground softly, and the black lacquered skull on the top of his head, which was one foot and two inches long, rolled out of the distance.
Several pro-soldiers hurriedly helped the coach up, but Chen Wangmo's eyes were white, and he was so soft that he didn't even have any strength, so he relied on the pro-soldiers to help him, otherwise he would have to slip to the ground.
Li Qiu, Huang Gonggong, Yangzhou Jinyiqiu Baihu and others all stood a few steps aside as if avoiding the plague, especially Li Qiu's expression was the most in place: his sleeves were flicked, his brows were furrowed, his mouth was slightly deflated, his eyes were disdainful, and he looked extremely disgusted, and his expression was like Chen Wangmo, who was still an official in the same dynasty as him just now, and suddenly he became a piece of stinking shit, and it was the kind of steaming hot and green-headed flies circling above!
Chen Wangmo is finished, and even the soldiers who are supporting him are thinking about finding another career - as the world's favored Ping Jiangbo, not only lost Caoyin, but also used the people of the White Lotus Sect as the curtain guests, saying that this is called stupidity and confusion and delaying the military aircraft, and it should be dismissed and investigated, and the key point is to collude with rebellion and plot misdeeds, waiting to get rid of the lord, raid the house, and cut off the head!
At the same moment, he was still the dignified and super-grade Pingjiang Bo, the chief military officer in charge of the 100,000 Cao Army, and he was above Li Qiu in the right deputy capital Yushi Governor Cao Yun and Admiral Military Affairs Governor Fengyang and other places, and at this time Chen Wangmo has become an unlucky egg and a pile of shit that everyone avoids. ,
Blame yourself?
However, everyone wanted to know Master Bai's question, and Zhang Zixuan blinked in confusion: "Brother Qin, how do you know that Master Bai is an inner jiān?" In Xiǎo's opinion, although this person is cunning, there is nothing special about what he does. ”
Yuanzhi and Huo Chonglou also nodded, it is true that Master Bai is in opposition to Qin Lin everywhere, instigating Chen Wang Mole to bī Cao Gang, but the Shaoxing masters in the Yamén everywhere, for the sake of Dong Weng or their own interests, do not do much to tamper with documents, open up internal and external joints, and cheat? In the final analysis, Master Bai persuaded Chen Wangmo to plant Cao Yin on the Cao Gang, also in order to keep Dong Weng's official position, which is nothing more than fulfilling the basic obligation of the dog-headed military division!
On the surface, there was nothing suspicious about what Master Bai did.
Qin Lin smiled: "I haven't found any flaws in Master Bai from beginning to end. ”
Everyone was puzzled, if that was the case, how could they find out that he was an internal member of the White Lotus Sect?
Master Bai jumped up angrily and scolded hatefully: "Who, who betrayed me?" Betraying the lifeless mother, there is no place to die, the soul is scattered, and he will never be reborn! ”
At this time, everyone explained, and said in their hearts that someone had betrayed him.
"No one betrayed you," Qin Lin smiled and explained, "I used the reverse extrapolation method. ”
Yes, Master Bai did not show any flaws here, and if he changed to another Shaoxing master to stand in his position, he would also persuade Chen Wangmo to play nòng scheming, try to recover losses, shirk responsibility, and prevaricate the court.
But from the standpoint of the White Lotus Sect, they tried their best to steal the silver, arranged and arranged the people and horses all over the southern Zhili, and set up such a large-scale bureau, where was the most critical node?
After Qin Lin asked this question, Zhang Zixuan first gave the answer: "Chen Wangmo! ”
If Chen Wangmo was a nerd who would rather bear the blame than force the Cao Gang, how could the White Lotus Sect instigate a group of 100,000 Cao workers to respond?
If he really believed that Qin Lin could recover Caoyin, and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and didn't make a move, how could the White Lotus Sect incite the people?
Even if he knew in advance that Chen Wangmo was a friend of the Dead Dao and the undead poor Dao, how could he be sure that his order would not be interfered with and obstructed by the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, Huang Gonggong and the two sons of the Zhang family, and other things would happen?
It can be seen from this that in order to lead to the anti-Cao Gong from the theft of the silver, Chen Wangmo, the highest-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty in charge of the case in Yangzhou in Yangzhou, was the key to the key, and his attitude directly affected the trend of the situation.
Chen Wang Moshi received the favor of the country, and the White Lotus Sect was absolutely unable to control and coerce, even if he or his favorite son was arrested, it was useless, and he would rather die and be praised by the imperial court, than if the rebellion failed, it was better to be beheaded.
So, in what ways did the White Lotus Sect influence Chen Wangmo and push the situation in the direction they wanted? What kind of identity and position can express opinions on this case without leaving a trace, and guide Chen Wangmo's thinking, judgment and behavior?
At this point, the conclusion is called out - only Master Bai, who appeared as a guest of the scene, could tide over the difficulties in the name of giving advice for Chen Wangmo, and guided him step by step towards the trap dug by the White Lotus Sect.
Therefore, Qin Lin's judgment was not based on what Master Bai exposed and what suspicions he revealed, but from the purpose of the White Lotus Sect to incite the Cao Gang to rebel, and came to the final conclusion: The White Lotus Sect not only needs, but also must have a person with the identity of a master by Chen Wangmo's side!
Qin Lin's superb analysis, interlocking and seamless, has nailed Master Bai into the Jedi and revealed the truth of the whole case.
And Zhang Zixuan, Lu Yuanzhi and others, who suddenly came to their senses, admired Qin Lin's analysis so much, Huo Zhong Zhong had a clear understanding: In the past in Dongchang, he only knew how to follow up and investigate, how to visit insiders, and torture suspects to obtain confessions, and did everything possible to find the flaws of the other party, but they didn't know that there was still a way of solving the case like Chief Qin who did not need to seek the flaws of the criminals, but deduced from the purpose!
Master Bai was irrefutable, and smiled miserably, under the deterrence of a master of Huo Chonglou's level, he did not have the slightest chance to escape.
Qiu Baihu of Yangzhou Jinyiwei pulled out a soft rope of cow tendon from his waist and prepared to come forward to arrest him.
Suddenly, there was a loud and noisy sound from the direction of the mén, and I felt that the voices of people were boiling.
Master Bai laughed, the reason why he was talking to Qin Lin and the others was to delay time, thinking that there was already a river of blood flowing in the Yuan Mén place now, right? Although the carrier pigeon has not been released, Elder Duan's side will get the news sooner or later, and the situation in Jiangnan and Jiangbei can still go according to plan! ,
When thousands of Cao Gong were stimulated by the blood, their eyes turned red, and they turned from hard-working old scalpers into crazy mad cows and rushed into the weakly defended line, the White Lotus Sect killers mixed in with it would take the opportunity to attack, and there would be no one alive here except for Master Bai!
Seeing this situation, Li Qiu and Huang Gonggong couldn't help but feel flustered, especially Li Qiu, who was still shouting violently just now to punish the people and maintain the norm, and found that he might have fallen into the other party's trick, and his face became very unsightly.
Now Xingyuan's defense is weak, and once it really grows to the people, and the White Lotus Sect bewitches it, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Without thinking, they set their eyes on Qin Lin - now this Jinyi Guard's deputy Qianhu has been regarded as the backbone.
"Laughing, smiling happily, huh?" Qin Lin's face did not have the fear and shock that Master Bai expected, but he was very tidy, and his eyes were filled with pity like looking at an idiot, "Do you think that the soldiers outside have already fought with Caogong, and there is already a river of blood under the Yuanmén, everything is going according to your plan, and it can no longer be recovered, right?" ”
Master Bai couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, and his eyes widened: Could it be ......
"Listen carefully, fool, is this a shout of killing or a cheer!" Qin Lin laughed disdainfully.
How can it be? Master Bai unwillingly grabbed his collar and counted the number of days, even if he didn't delay any time, it would be absolutely impossible to ship the silver from the East China Sea to here today!
Outside of the Yuanmén, a long line of two-wheeled carriages was slowly coming, Han Feilian and You Kidnapper were sitting on the wheels of the front car wearing brocade clothes and flying fish suits, beaming with joy, shouting loudly to the Cao Gong who came up: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, our Chief Qin has found Cao Yin, haha!" Sir, I'm going to be promoted and make a fortune! ”
What the? Cao Yin recovered?
Caoyin has been recovered!
Thank God!
The workers felt that the haze in the sky had disappeared, hugged each other and cheered loudly, and many people cried with joy.
Once this silver is recovered, the mountain that is pressing on the head of the Cao gang will collapse, not only will it not be compensated by the government for the loss of the silver, but the excessively detailed inspection arranged by Chen Wangmo will also be canceled, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal will immediately resume normal navigation, and soon this main artery that runs through the north and south will be as prosperous as in the past, with an endless stream of merchants coming and going from the south to the north, and all kinds of boats shuttling back and forth.
The Cao workers who relied on the canal to live could exchange their sweat for money and food to feed their families as usual, and live in poverty and peace of mind, enjoying the warm breeze of chūn days, the coolness of autumn, the warmth of their wives and the happiness of their children around their knees.
But for people with bad intentions, this situation is something they absolutely don't want to see, such as Big Brother Pi hiding in the crowd, and some other premeditated guys.
Looking at the sharp weapon hidden in his sleeve with a fierce light, Brother Pi was about to hold out the water in his palm, but he didn't dare to make the slightest move: thousands of workers were happily celebrating the recovery of Caoyin, if anyone dared to act rashly at this juncture, he would definitely be beaten into a ròu cake by thousands of thick old fists!
Chief Ge, the patrol officer of the convoy, was worried, and at this time, if anyone opened the box and was sure to go, he didn't know what would happen.
He only knew that he was leading a centipede boat to patrol the Yangtze River south of Yangzhou, and Qin Lin came downstream with a fast rowing river, and requisitioned him and his group of brothers, and ran to the Guazhou Ferry Wharf to temporarily requisition a large caravan, which was replaced by sailors to drive the carriage to Yangzhou.
These boxes are not filled with silver at all, but goods such as rice paper and Jingdezhen porcelain!
Fortunately, no one was suspicious of the box, perhaps because the white crate box for carrying the goods was very similar to the box for transporting silver, Qin Lin observed on the dock for a while before choosing this caravan.
The "Caoyin", which was obviously transported to the sea by the Wufeng Maritime Merchant, suddenly returned to Hangzhou, and the sergeant Xingyuan did not fight with the Caogong, and the undercover agent hidden in the crowd of Caogong did not play a role, so the black-clothed man who was ambushed in advance was puzzled: How did things become like this? It's completely different from the plan!
A man in black was lying behind the blackened window, and Ju Jīng aimed at Cao Gong with a strong crossbow, and asked his comrades around him stupidly: "Senior Brother Máo, what's going on?" Didn't Lord Hexiang say......"
There was a muffled bang, which frightened the man in black and jumped up like a shrimp, and he hurriedly turned around to see that Senior Brother Máo had fallen to the ground on his stomach, and his life and death were uncertain, and then he saw Niu Dali, who was smirking. ,
A thick stick smashed down on the head, and the last silhouette in the memory of the man in black before he passed out was the big burnt yellow tooth in the big mouth of the cow that grinned vigorously.
It's disgusting...... These were the last three words that appeared in the black's mind before he passed out, followed by a pain in his head, a black eye, and he temporarily lost consciousness.
At the end of the year, Han Feilian and You Kidnapper walked in with "Cao Yin", and they let out a long breath, if they found out that it was not Cao Yin just now, the White Lotus Sect members mixed in the Cao Gong team took the opportunity to instigate, I am afraid that the consequences will be quite serious, but now, the people's hearts have been decided, and the overall situation can no longer be reversed.
Qin Lin walked out of the Yuan Mén with everyone, and Master Bai was led by Lu Fatzi, tied up with five flowers, and bruises on his face - this time Huo Chonglou was prepared, and he did it before he committed suicide by taking poison, and finally captured him alive.
Master Bai is actually a master of incense of the White Lotus Sect, known for his resourcefulness and strange changes, lurking beside the chief military officer of Caoyun, with great schemes, and his status directly pursues the elders of the sect, but he was unexpectedly captured by Qin Lin and ended up in such a mess.
The identity of the white incense lord is kept secret, and the vast majority of the disciples who are mixed with the cao workers do not know him, they only think it is strange; But Brother Pi, who presided over the undercover work in the Cao Gang, was different, he knew how huge the role of the white incense lord was, and his heart beat like a drum.
Qin Lin jumped on a stone next to him, and Huo Chonglou was guarding him with a heart.
"Brother Caogong, you are deceived!" Qin Lin circled his hands around his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted loudly: "Not only has Cao Yin been found, but he didn't say that he wanted you to make up for it before, in fact, this official found out Cao Yin's whereabouts ten days ago, and it is easy to recover it, so how can he extort the Cao Gang?" ”
The workers looked at each other, and someone couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the sir, then let us each pay five taels of silver to make up for it, that is?" ”
"Lies," Qin Lin said categorically, "White Lotus Sect's lies!" The purpose is to incite you to rebel, to start a war with the army of the imperial court, and to shed blood and die for them! ”
Hiss - the Cao workers poured a sigh of relief, they are all bitter haha, who has nothing to do but tie their heads to the belt and fight with the court?
Of course, if, according to the White Lotus Sect's expectations, the Cao workers who were instigated to rush to the war "missed" and killed Chen Wangmo, Li Qiu, and Huang Gonggong, the chief military officer of the earl, a governor of Caoyun and the governor of Fengyang, and a deputy envoy of the eunuch Qincha, then the Cao workers would also die left and right, and they would not be able to do it again.
The White Lotus Cultists who were mixed in the Cao Gong panicked, and someone shouted, "Don't believe him! This is all a lie from the imperial court......"
Before he finished speaking, there was a big empty circle around him, and the workers stood away from him, looking at him as if they didn't know him, and their eyes were not the friendship between the bitter brothers, but cold and strange.
This man wants to make them rebel, bleed, and kill their heads, and who does not hate him except for the brainwashed fools?
Brother Pi gritted his teeth, and took advantage of the fact that his identity had not yet been revealed, took out the jīng skillful crossbow machine from under the bulging cotton jacket, and quickly aimed at Qin Lin, who was stepping on the upper horse stone.
The arrows on the short crossbow had sharp tips shining with a blue cold light!
