- PS: See the exclusive story behind "Ming Dynasty Trigram Master", listen to your more suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the starting point Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter qdread), tell me quietly! At that moment, Ai Donggua carried the Thunder Banner Master, and the three of them returned to the side of the road. Put on the horse with a high bamboo pole, hit the horizontal pull, and the three of them got on their horses, turned their horses' heads, and walked towards Tunzhou City.
On the way, Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua suggested that Yi Xingchen and the others would return to the Jinyi Wei Yamen and report directly to Ruan Baihu, so that the credit would not be snatched away by others.
Yi Xingchen thought about it for a while, but shook his head and said, "No, we can't cross the two levels of the general flag and the small flag and report directly to Lord Ruan." ”
"Why?" Ai Donggua and Gao Zhugan asked together.
Although Yi Xingchen is only a high school student in modern society, he usually comes into contact with all kinds of film and television works that reflect officialdom, and has also read a lot of novels that reflect officialdom, so he knows very well that it is taboo to report to the officialdom, whether it is the lower or the upper level, he is very disgusted with this kind of overstepping the report, and will think that it is a credit grab, destroying the entire officialdom hierarchical order, which is counterproductive.
Now that Gao Zhupole and the two of them asked like this, Yi Xingchen secretly shook his head, thinking that although these two have good martial arts and are loyal to themselves, they still lack a string in dealing with others. He patiently nodded at them and said: "Reporting to the higher level is a taboo in officialdom, unless we don't work in Jinyiwei in the future, otherwise, those small flags and general banners of Jinyiwei think that if we don't take them in our eyes, they will definitely give us an ugly look." So. We still have to report this matter to Liu Xiaoqi first, and then he will report it upwards, which is in line with the rules. Still, we may take some of the credit from them. But this is the safest, and you have to save face from top to bottom. Everyone will share the credit, and they will also think that we can be people. In officialdom, the most important thing is to be exquisite, and people everywhere say hello, rather than everyone wearing small shoes for you. Multiple friends, more roads, fewer enemies, less walls. If you offend too many people. No matter how big you are, it's useless. What's more, we don't have a backer yet. ”
Gao Zhu pole and Ai Dong melon used to be just the lowest level of wrestlers, and they are still wrestlers after many years. It was because they were too wooden and didn't know how to be tactful, and now after listening to Yi Xingchen's words, they felt that they really didn't think it through. In the end, he is a big brother. All aspects of the problem are thought out in detail. Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed as Yi Xingchen said, it is best to do this.
Gao Zhugan and Ai Donggua hurriedly laughed and said, "What the eldest brother thinks about is, according to the eldest brother's opinion, let's go back to see Liu Xiaoqi." ”
The three of them returned to the Yamen of the Jinyi Guards in Tunzhou, and rode straight to the outside of Liu Xiaoqi's wing, and those Jinyi guards were very surprised when they saw them: "Didn't you go to guardianship and escort the show girl?" Came back so soon. ”
The news of their encounter with the ambush has not yet spread, and these brocade guards do not know yet, so the three of them do not explain. Just smiled and asked, "Where is Liu Xiaoqi?" ”
"In his room."
Yi Xingchen asked the two of them to look at the unconscious Lei Qi Lord, turned over and dismounted and entered the wing room, where Liu Qi Master was processing official documents. When I heard the footsteps and looked up, I found that it was him, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised and said, "Why did you come back?" It's done, not so fast, right? ”
Yi Xingchen said: "My lord, we encountered an attack by the White Lotus Sect bandits on the road, and the officers and troops were scattered, with many casualties. Xiu Nu also fled, and the county magistrate and the chief secretary of the county government were killed by the White Lotus Sect. Fortunately, Zhang General arrived in time with the ironclad army to defeat the White Lotus Sect, and in the midst of the chaos, he led the White Lotus Sect to ambush our banner master surnamed Lei and fled. ”
Lord Liu Qi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he was even more surprised when he saw that Yi Xingchen had a lot of blood stains on his body, but escorting the show girl to the capital was mainly a matter of officers and soldiers, in fact, there was nothing to do with them Jinyiwei, the reason why they sent Jinyiwei was purely to rip off bamboo, and they Jinyiwei had no responsibility if something really happened, so they were not nervous, and when they heard Yi Xingchen say that they had actually caught the White Lotus Sect Incense Master, they said happily: "Where are the people?" ”
"Outside, I've knocked me unconscious."
"Take it to the interrogation room, I'm going to interrogate it myself."
Yi Xingchen immediately went out and called Ai Donggua and Gao Zhugan to escort the Lei Qi Lord to the interrogation room, and a Jinyi guard who was specially responsible for interrogation took over and woke him up with cold water.
The Lord of the Thunder Banner saw that since he was wearing a flying fish suit and carrying an embroidered spring knife on his waist, he was really frightened, so he wanted to run away, only then did he find that he couldn't use half of his strength, it turned out that his skills had been abolished, and there was no burning of all thoughts.
Previously, he was caught by the man in black, knocked unconscious and then woke up, the man in black forced a confession, and after he confessed, he was knocked unconscious again, and then woke up, but he appeared in the Jinyi Wei Yamen, not knowing what happened.
The Lord of the Thunder Banner knew that when he arrived at the Jinyi Guard Yamen, he would only suffer if he didn't open his mouth. He looked domineering, but in fact, he didn't have any hardness in his bones, so he didn't wait for Liu Xiaoqi to order the torture, so he told everything he knew. It's just that he insisted that he was the incense master of the White Lotus Sect, not the Heavenly Tribulation Sect.
He confessed the location of the hall where he was located, and also confessed the small village where Maitreya taught Li Xuehao to be.
Liu Xiaoqi couldn't help but be overjoyed and personally reported to Wang Zongqi. When Wang Zongqi heard this, the matter was very important, so he naturally did not dare to take the credit alone, and immediately reported to the hundred households.
And at this time, Ruan Baihu had just received a report from Zhang Jiang, saying that the show girl who was selected to be transferred to the palace was actually intercepted by the White Lotus Sect in his own jurisdiction, and killed a lot of officers and soldiers, and let the show girl go, which was really shocked, Zhang sent the captured White Lotus Sect to the Jinyi Guard Yamen, but it was said that they were all ordinary sect members, and there was no more value, Ruan Baihu was worried about how to explain later, but he didn't expect to receive a report from Wang Zongqi that the Jinyi Guard, who was sent to guard and escort the show girl, actually arrested the leader of the White Lotus Sect. And this bandit leader confessed the location of the White Lotus Sect's hall, Ruan Baihu was pleasantly surprised, and immediately ordered troops to be sent to arrest him.
During the Jiajing period. The strength of Jinyiwei has increased greatly, and at the beginning of the establishment of Jinyiwei, there were only about 100 people in a hundred households. The subsequent emperors continued to expand, and by the time of Jiajing, the number had increased to thousands. This time it was a big deal, so Ruan Baihu sent almost all the forces that could be mobilized to arrest him, including the Jinyi guards of the spy group and the internal affairs group, seven or eight hundred people, at the same time. They also sent people to ask for reinforcements from the local garrison. Of course, he was worried that the army would take credit. Therefore, the matter of increasing the number of troops was sent after he led the Jinyi Guards to set off, so as to prevent the officers and soldiers from taking the lead in case of emergency, and also to avoid the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers after the fierce resistance of the White Lotus Sect.
Nguyen's hundred soldiers were divided into two routes. All the way to the location of the hall where the Lord of the Thunder Banner explained. The other way rushed to the village where Li Xuehao was located and arrested Li Xuehao, the head of the Maitreya Sect in Tunzhou.
Yi Xingchen was not worried that they would catch Li Xuehao and affect him, he knew that this time Jinyiwei would definitely be in the air. Because Yi Xingchen heard Li Xuehao say that they were going to move immediately, he estimated that Li Xuehao and they must no longer be in the village. What's more, there was Mei Lengxiang before, she had already gotten the news from the Thunder Banner Lord first, knowing that Li Xuehao and they were hiding here, so she immediately rushed away, even if Li Xuehao and they didn't transfer away, they couldn't escape Mei Lengxiang's hands. Mei Lengxiang will either kill him, or he will ask him to take away and ask for news, and he will not leave it to Jinyiwei.
Yi Xingchen, Gao Zhugan, Ai Donggua, and the three of them followed Ruan Baihu to the hall where the Lord of the Thunder Banner said to arrest them.
But when the Jinyi Guard Brigade arrived. Only then did I learn that someone had already attacked the Thunder Banner Lord before them.
This hall is in a small market town, they entered the market town hall entrance, rushed into the courtyard, and all they saw were corpses lying on the ground, basically all of them were pierced through the heart by a sword. In total, dozens of bodies were killed on the spot. There wasn't a single one alive.
After the identification of the Thunder Banner Lord, all the dead were their disciples, and a few of them were their small leaders. It's just that there is no body of the Yin Palace Lord of the Zhenmu Palace.
Of course, Yi Xingchen knew that this should be Mei Lengxiang's dryness.
Although Ruan Baihu was a little disappointed that he couldn't catch it alive, even if it was a corpse, he had a way to turn it into a great achievement. He was already thinking about how to report to the above, saying that after he got the tip, he raided the entrance of the White Lotus Sect, and after a fierce battle, killed nearly 1,000 members of the White Lotus Sect. Hehe, it's a must to overstate the numbers, and it's not a small credit.
It is impossible for the upper authorities to come down to verify whether he killed it or someone else, anyway, it is a fact that this White Lotus Church entrance was removed.
Ruan Baihu ordered the heads of all the bandit leaders to be cut off, brought back, and put them in lime boxes to repay the merits.
Then he ordered the hall to be burned.
Because the village they came to was in a different direction from the village where Li Xuehao was, Ruan Baihu had to go back to Tunzhou before he could go to that village. When he led the troops to Tunzhou, he received a secret report that the team of brocade guards sent to arrest the master of the Tunzhou hall was in vain. After questioning the local people, it was confirmed that a large number of White Lotus Sect members had indeed gathered here before, but before that, they had withdrawn and did not know where to go.
Ruan Baihu was very disappointed with this news, but this time he was able to finish off a hall of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect, which was already a great credit, which made him very satisfied.
So he ordered the withdrawal to Tunzhou. On the way, I met the officers and soldiers who rushed to arrive. Ruan Baihu told the officers and soldiers that you don't need to rush, the White Lotus Sect has already withdrawn.
Returning to the yamen of the Baihu Institute, Ruan Baihu interrogated those White Lotus disciples again. Then he wrote a memora, and sent someone to escort the heads of the Thunder Banner Lord and the dozens of captured White Lotus Sectists to the Thousand Households to report and invite merit. At the same time, he asked the imperial court to send troops to recruit and suppress the White Lotus Sect in Tunzhou.
When these things are done, Ruan Baihu will of course be rewarded according to his merits. The first thing to reward is naturally to catch the Jinyi guard of the Thunder Banner Lord.
