The two Zhu Houwei brothers glanced at each other, Zhu Houwei nodded, so Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to Bai Xiaode, "Mr. Bai, don't go, we will take care of this matter, you can rest assured that you can recuperate here." When Lao Li heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly thanked him, and Bai Xiaode was also very grateful, "Thank you to the two highnesses, the two highnesses saved the grass people twice, and the grass people really don't know how to repay." Zhu Houzhao shook his hand, "This matter is not only about your father and daughter, they have malicious intentions towards the court, even if there is no matter of yours in it, we will get rid of them." Bai Xiaode arched his hand after hearing this, and he didn't say anything anymore.

Zhu Houwei said at this time, "They have just arrived near Xiaolizhuang now, and the goal is also very clear, that is, Mr. Bai's father and daughter, but they don't know your location yet, so it is still safe for the past two days, Jinyiwei sees that they are very cautious, some stay in the land temple, and some people are also sent out to inquire about the news, and there are those who are watching around, if they send someone directly to the land temple to arrest them, they will definitely startle the snake, so it is up to Mr. Bai to lure the snake out of the hole." "Bai Xiaode returned" It doesn't matter, this is a matter for the grass people. Zhu Houzhao said, "I will leave today, and I will inform you when I have a careful plan." Lao Li and Bai Xiaode bowed their hands and sent off the two highnesses. ”

So, the two brothers Zhu Houwei took their sister back to the capital. After dinner, Zhu Houzhao told Hongzhi about the matter, Hongzhi was shocked and angry after hearing it, he didn't expect that there were so many poor people in Shandong, not far from Gyeonggi, who couldn't eat enough, and the folk religion began to change, and Jinyiwei and the local government were not aware of the malicious intentions towards the imperial court. However, the first problem is to solve the people around the Huangzhuang first, otherwise once a big evil happens, it will be a huge blow to the majesty of the imperial court. The father and son chatted for a long time, and only when it was time for the son to go to rest. Early the next morning, Zhu Houwei first asked Liu Jin to take the things he had painted overnight yesterday to the Ministry of Engineering to make them, and then went to class with Zhu Houzhao. The things to be made this time are also an important part of the plan.

From today, I didn't bring my sister with me to Huangzhuang, and I made the little girl unhappy, but there was no way, this time the matter might be dangerous, so I didn't say anything to the little girl. The other personnel of Huangzhuang still do their jobs, burn bricks and burn bricks, raise livestock, and plough the fields, but there are Jinyi guards who secretly enter Xiaolizhuang and Dalizhuang, and the surveillance of that group of people has not relaxed, and now there are 23 "New Maitreya Cultists" who have appeared, but there should be some who have not come out.

After 3 days of peace, by the night of the fourth day, the tranquility and peace of Xiao Li Zhuang were still broken. There is no moon or stars tonight, they are all covered by dark clouds, and there is no light around, which is in line with the old saying, "The night is dark and the wind is high, and the day is murderous and arsonous." Lao Li's house is in the middle of the village, but before and after today's third watch, fires broke out in all four corners of the village, and at the same time, a team of about 15 people ran straight to Lao Li's house. These 15 people are all men, all masked and wearing dark clothes, and they are all holding swords in their hands.

People began to come out in all four corners of the village to put out the fires, but the closer you got to the middle of the village, the quieter it became. One of the masked men couldn't help but whisper, "No, why is there no one here to put out the fire?" A man next to him said, "Maybe the relationship between the people in the village is not good, big brother, don't care so much, when you get to the door, can't you go back?" When the man at the head heard this, he said, "That's right, I can't care so much now, rush in." After speaking, he kicked on the gate of Lao Li's house, only to see a door kicked out of the door frame and fell into the courtyard. I have to say that the quality of Lao Li's house is not very good. Then there was another bang, and another door was kicked out of the post, and the gang didn't care about it, so they rushed inside. If you are careful, you will find that the door of Lao Li's house is not plugged into the deadbolt from the inside. Just when there were 7 or 8 people entering the threshold, he heard the sound of "click" and "bang" endlessly, and the man led by him only felt a pain in his left arm and right leg, and then he couldn't support it and fell to the ground, but at this time he reacted quickly and shouted, "There is an ambush, lie down, find a place to hide." Unfortunately, there were few people who could answer him, and there was a scream outside the threshold before he could enter. All of a sudden, there was a "click" and "click" sound everywhere, it sounded very dense, and I didn't know how many people there were. After a while, the main hall of Lao Li's house lit up with candles, and a male voice said, "Okay, stop, start arresting people." So five men came out of the darkness of the courtyard, and Lao Li also came out of the other five doors, and walked together towards the thieves lying on the ground. Lao Li's house began to have candles, and the courtyard became bright, and at this time, I saw 15 men lying on the ground, only 3 of them were angry, and one of them had already reached the state of returning to the light.

As soon as the door of the main hall opened, two men walked out, one was Bai Xiaode, and the other was Mu Bin, the commander of the current Jinyi Guard. I only heard Mu Bin say, "The living ones are taken out of the village first and imprisoned, and someone is sent to contact outside the village to see if those who set the fire have been caught, and no one must be missed this time." A Jinyi Wei Colonel replied "yes" and then wanted to run outside the village.

At this time, Bai Xiaode stepped forward, and by the light in the courtyard, he saw the bandit leader who was tied up, his eyes widened, as if he was about to burst into flames, and his tone was higher than usual, but he trembled a little, "Li Denghui, it's really you." Then Li Denghui just glanced at him, closed his eyes, and stopped talking. Mu Bin ordered someone to move this group of people, whether alive or corpses, outside the village, and left a few more people to clean the bloodstains in the yard and at the door, so he also wanted to walk outside the village.

Bai Xiaode's breathing was still a little short, but after a while, it slowly calmed down, so he followed Mu Bin out of the door. At this time, the fires in the village were extinguished, and what was burned was the firewood and grass of several families, the houses were already very dilapidated, and they were all thatched houses, and they couldn't lose much if they were burned, not to mention the compensation guaranteed by the prince, and the burned families were not only not depressed, but also a little happy.

At this time, everyone gathered in the land temple outside the village, the temple was a little dilapidated, but it was still clean, and it seemed that there were often people nearby who worshipped the land god. Mu Bin stood in front of the statue, facing the gate, and the 10 or so high-level Jinyi guards below were divided into two rows, reporting to Mu Bin about the situation tonight. In the end, the statistics showed that a total of 40 people who entered the village today were waiting for news in the land temple, among the 35 people who entered the village, 28 were killed, and all the others were arrested, 5 people in the land temple were killed, 2 people were arrested, and those who were alive were all injured to varying degrees. Since Bai Xiaode was the only one who knew this bandit leader, he was also called for questioning.

Mu Bin asked, "Mr. Bai knows him." Mu Bin knew that the two brothers Zhu Houzhao attached great importance to this Bai Xiaode, so they didn't take it seriously. At this time, Li Deng was pressed up, and his left arm and right leg were each hit by a crossbow arrow, and he still hasn't pulled it out. The whole body was tied tightly, and the weapons and stuff were removed. Although tonight's action was a complete failure, there seemed to be no frustration on Li Denghui's face, only a deep disdain. Bai Xiaode was also very strange to him, but he still replied to Mu Bin, "Lord Hui, this person is a grass person, he came to Shandong 7 years ago, and recently incited the people everywhere to make trouble, and it was this person who led people to kill the family teacher." Mu Bin continued to ask, "Where is he from, what did he do before, does Mr. Bai know?" Bai Xiaode arched his hand and said, "I really don't know, I didn't often meet him before, and I don't know much about him, so I'm ashamed." Mu Bin shook his hand, "It's okay, Mr. Bai will go back first, he has my brocade guard, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to find out." As he spoke, he glanced at Li Denghui, and Li Denghui just snorted coldly when he heard it.

Bai Xiaode began to walk towards Lao Li's house, now the revenge is about to be avenged, and no one will come to chase and kill their father and daughter in the future, and the mood can't help but relax, at this time, the moon came out from the thick clouds again, and put on a white coat to the earth again, he looked at the bright moon, showed a smile, and the pace back to the village was much brisker.
