In the end, the prefect of Jingzhou sentenced him to remove the official title from his official position, 100 rods, and three years in prison.

As for Zhang Youzhi, Jin Yiwei had already hinted at greeting him and asked him to give him a light sentence and remove his fame, so the verdict made by the prefect was only lenient on the grounds that Zhang Youzhi voluntarily pleaded guilty and surrendered. Zhang Youzhi's fame was removed, and he was never allowed to participate in the imperial examination. Then released in court.

Soap Li removed the torture equipment on Zhang Youzhi's body, and he staggered out of the lobby with his head down. The spectators from the periphery of the lobby looked at him with contempt and whispered to him, making him want to find a crack in the ground to get into.

However, when he saw his wife standing there in the distance with her son in her arms, his heart felt warm, and he walked quickly, and when he reached his wife, he could not say a word.

Zhang Youzhi looked ashamed, looked at his wife, his eyes were full of gratitude, he actually lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, and said: "Lady, if you can forgive me, I will definitely change my past, if I say a heavy word to you in the future, move a finger, I will cut it with a thousand knives." ”

Xie Mengxia snorted, hugged her son and turned to leave. Zhang Youzhi was ashamed, got up with his head down, followed quickly, and left the yamen.

After experiencing this change, after Zhang Youzhi was stripped of his fame, he no longer had the courage to bully Xie Mengxia. On the contrary, the mouse saw the cat, and flattered Xie Mengxia in every way.

Because he has been disgraced in the Golden State. I didn't have the face to stay anymore, and I sold my family property. Moved away far away and lived a new life in an unknown place.

Although this talent and fame were bought by Zhang Youzhi with money. However, he still had some literary ink, so he opened a private school to teach students, but he also earned enough money to support his family, and the family lived a well-off life.

Mei Lengxiang has not shown up. It wasn't until a few years later that he went to visit, and he didn't mention it, or even pretended not to know. Seeing that the senior sister was radiant and energetic. The laughter was also very hearty, and then I felt that my senior sister was really happy. Yi Xingchen's hexagram finally came true. They got a good result.

Yi Xingchen successfully found out that the Jinzhou Heavenly Tribulation Sect had created a lie and spread rumors about the so-called Heavenly Divine Fire, and used instruments to falsify the Heavenly Divine Fire, and quickly reported it to Governor Li. Governor Li couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned of this, and immediately rushed to Jinzhou.

It's just that because the distance between Tunzhou and Jinzhou is a little far, it has been more than ten days since he got the information and rushed to Jinzhou. During this period, Yi Xingchen and Mei Lengxiang had already dealt with her senior sister's affairs. As soon as he returned to Jinzhou, Governor Li came.

After Governor Li arrived at the Yamen, Yi Xingchen and Jinzhou Jinyi Wei Ruan Baihu reported to him.

Of course. The report was mainly made by Yi Xingchen, who gave the confession of the bandits of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect who had been clearly investigated and arrested to Governor Li, and Governor Li couldn't help laughing after reading it. said to Yi Xingchen: "You are really a blessed general, these people have not made any name for investigating the Heavenly Tribulation Sect for so long, you come." He exposed their intrigues and tricks in one fell swoop, and wiped them out. It's a pity that they missed their bandits, but it doesn't matter. Now that the matter has been figured out, he has nowhere to hide at the end of the world, and sooner or later he will be arrested and brought to justice. ”

This time, Yi Xingchen didn't have the same high hopes as he had when he solved the case of the Yunshan Guan Daoist killing hundreds of Immortal Ascendants, so he only made a report on the case itself, and did not expand it to the entire Heavenly Tribulation Sect. Because he knew that there were still many believers in the Heavenly Tribulation Sect in the imperial court, he didn't want to provoke the fire, so he investigated the case, which was the most appropriate, as for how to characterize it, it was better to leave it to the emperor to decide.

After Governor Li praised it, he said to Yi Xingchen: "I will report your military exploits to you Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Si according to the truth, but now is not the time to reward your meritorious deeds, because there are more important things for us to do." - I have already received a tip-off that I know where a relatively large group of bandits of the White Lotus Sect is entrenched, and they are recruiting troops and preparing to start up again, so this time I will wipe them all out, and you will go with me on the expedition. ”

Yi Xingchen hurriedly got up and bowed his hand, saying, "Obey the dispatch of the adults." ”

The next day was about to go on the expedition, Yi Xingchen wanted to talk to Mei Lengxiang, but he didn't know where to meet him, and her whereabouts were uncertain.

Come whatever you want. The next morning, Yi Xingchen opened his eyes and saw Mei Lengxiang sitting on a stool next to the round table in the hall looking at him.

Yi Xingchen was embarrassed, in ancient times, there were no pajamas and pajamas, they all slept naked, fortunately he covered himself with a quilt, quickly wrapped the quilt on his body, and said, "Sister, why did you come in?" ”

Mei Lengxiangqiao blushed, turned around and walked to the window, and said, "You get dressed first, because the matter is urgent, I am in a hurry to see you, but I didn't expect you to get up yet, you are really a lazy worm." ”

Yi Xingchen said with a dry smile: "Today at noon, the army set off to conquer the White Lotus Sect, so, I want to sleep lazily, I got up late, is there something wrong with my sister in such a hurry?" ”。

Yi Xingchen hurriedly put on his clothes and pants while asking, Mei Lengxiang said: "Of course there is an emergency, I have to thank you first, help me deal with my senior sister's affairs, although her husband has lost his reputation, but I can see that my senior sister has put this matter down, and in the future, she should not be bullied by him again, and her life should be better slowly." ”

"yes, that's fine, isn't that what we were expecting?"

After Yi Xingchen got dressed, Mei Lengxiang turned around, sat at the round table with a slightly red face, and said, "I came to you so early to tell you that I want to go to the capital, and I will leave as soon as I finish speaking, because things are very urgent, so I can't wait for you to get up." ”

Yi Xingchen was taken aback and said, "What is my sister going to the capital to do." ”

"Well...... I won't be able to tell for a while, anyway, I'll deal with it as soon as possible and rush back."

"If I have the opportunity to come to the capital, how can I find you, sister?"

Mei Lengxiang was pleasantly surprised: "Will you come to the capital?" ”。

"If the mountains don't turn around, maybe they will turn to the capital at some point."

"That's right, if you really want to come to the capital, you go to Fuyun Nunnery to find Master Miaoyun, the presiding master, and tell her that you want to find me, and she will tell me, and I will come to you. Because my whereabouts are uncertain, it is not convenient for you to find me. ”

Yi Xingchen nodded and said, "Okay, you guys are careful." ”

"I'm leaving, you also have to take care of yourself, your army is about to set off to fight the White Lotus Sect, this is good news, I hope you can wipe out the White Lotus Sect bandits, and also help me out of a bad breath, but you have to be careful in everything, the army is going out, you follow the governor, there should be no problem, but you must always be careful on the battlefield, and you must not take risks."

Yi Xingchen listened to her advice, and his words were gentle, as if a wife sent her husband out and couldn't rest assured. I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing the plum cold fragrance drifting away, there was still a faint dark fragrance in the room that only he could smell. Yi Xingchen was in a daze for a long time and sighed.

This time the army went out, and Yi Xingchen was in Governor Li's side.

This time, Governor Li came prepared, and he had already obtained accurate information, so the army gradually closed the encirclement and surrounded the White Lotus Sect on Dengyun Mountain.

This was the first time Yi Xingchen had participated in an ancient war, and he didn't have the slightest right to speak, and Governor Li didn't ask him any military opinions. The command was calm, and after several battles, Yi Xingchen followed and looked out on the hill, the sound of fighting on the battlefield was deafening, and seeing the ancient battlefield fighting made people feel the cruelty of war even more. In many cases in modern society, soldiers of each other will be blown to pieces by each other's missiles, planes, and artillery without even seeing each other's faces, but they are not as exciting as the current face-to-face slashing.

The White Lotus Sect obviously didn't expect that the imperial court would mobilize so many armies to quietly surround them, and they wanted to break through several times, but they were all stuck in various passages by the army, and there was no way to break through at all.

The White Lotus Sect could only retreat to Dengyun Mountain and defend against the danger.

The mountains here are treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Governor Li's army failed to capture it after several forced charges, but instead suffered losses and many casualties. Governor Li had no choice but to order the Dengyun Mountain to be surrounded, trap the other party first, wait for the other side to run out of grain and grass on the mountain, dry up the water source, and start a rebellion without a fight, and then launch an attack.

After more than ten days of siege, the tentative attack was quickly beaten back, and the White Lotus Sect's combat effectiveness still did not show any signs of decay, which made Governor Li very depressed.

Governor Li decided to go to a peak on the opposite side of Baiyun Mountain to investigate the enemy's situation, and let Yi Xingchen accompany him.

Yi Xingchen looked at the mountain peaks opposite and covered with white clouds, and the mountains were lush and full of trees, but there were snow lines on the top of the mountain, and the bare rocks had turned brown.

The mountain seemed to be a little higher than the one on this side, and it could be seen clearly from there. In ancient times, when there were no advanced means of investigation, this was not a bad solution.

Yi Xingchen hesitated for a moment and said, "Let the other generals go for the reconnaissance mission, Lord Governor, you are the commander of the three armies, it is better not to leave the army." ”

"I don't understand the military, surveying the terrain is a simple thing, but in fact, different terrain sees different effects in the eyes of different people. I don't trust the results of other people's surveys, I have to go there myself. Having said it here, all the bandits of the White Lotus Sect have been surrounded by us on Baiyun Mountain, and there is no trace of the White Lotus Sect in other places, so there will be no danger. ”

Since this generalissimo must bow down to everything, Yi Xingchen has nothing to say. Follow Governor Li, under the protection of the personal guard, to the peak next to Baiyun Mountain.

Locals call the mountain Bald Mountain because the summit of the mountain is above the snow line, no trees can grow, and it looks like a bald head compared to the lush woods below. (To be continued......)
