In the structure of the White Lotus Sect, the status from high to low is the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, the successor of the next leader, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus, the hall master of each branch, the helmsman and the incense master.

However, in the current White Lotus Sect, the next heir to the sect leader has not yet been completely confirmed, and there are three candidates for the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect to be tied together.

The power of these three candidates within the White Lotus Sect is not as exalted as that of a true saintess.

However, the status of the three of them will definitely not be lower than that of the hall masters of the various branches of the White Lotus Sect.

After all, this candidate for the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect has a 30% chance of inheriting the position of the next leader of the White Lotus Sect.

In terms of the importance that the Ming Imperial Court attaches to the White Lotus Sect, this candidate for the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect is absolutely a repeat offense.

Now that Zhou Chen was able to arrest a candidate for the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect and put him in prison, this was undoubtedly a great achievement.

As long as Zhou Chen reported the current situation to the Jingshi Imperial Court and presented himself to Emperor Hongzhi, the Son of Heaven, his official position would not be much worse than even being promoted to the third level.

It was precisely because of this that when Zhou Chen heard that among the assassins who were arrested and imprisoned last night, there was such a big fish as the candidate of the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, his face was also filled with a deep sense of joy.

Immediately, I saw Zhou Chen stroking his palms and saying with a smile: "I didn't expect that this emerging White Lotus Sect rudder in Datong Mansion was actually established by a White Lotus Sect Holy Maiden candidate herself.

Now that all these thieves have been wiped out, it can be described as a great achievement for the imperial court! ”

As he spoke, the look on Zhou Chen's face became more and more joyful, and he suddenly stood up and looked at Chen Yun and Xu Yan and said, "Without further ado, this official will draft a transcript and present all the causes and circumstances of this incident to the Son of Heaven."

This candidate for the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect is a serious offender, and the two of you will soon set out to escort a group of important prisoners involved in this case to the capital, where they will be handed over to the Son of Heaven to make a personal decision. ”

Zhou Chen's move was to show his merit to himself and the people under his command, and secondly, to prepare to avoid too much involvement with the White Lotus Sect.

The strength and power of the White Lotus Sect hidden among the people are definitely not weak, and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have encircled and suppressed it many times, but they have never been able to completely exterminate the White Lotus Sect.

With Zhou Chen's own strength, he would not be afraid of anything from the White Lotus Sect at all, but this did not mean that he was willing to be entangled by the White Lotus Sect.

Right now, Zhou Chen is only encircling and suppressing a Datong branch of the White Lotus Sect, even if it includes a Holy Lady heir of the White Lotus Sect, but the White Lotus Sect will definitely not make a big move for Zhou Chen.

But if Zhou Chen continued to entangle, vainly trying to target the entire White Lotus Sect through this Holy Lady heiress of the White Lotus Sect, then the White Lotus Sect would definitely not tolerate him.

Therefore, after Zhou Chen exterminated the new White Lotus Sect rudder in Datong Mansion and confirmed that he could exchange a lot of credit for himself for promotion, he didn't plan to continue to touch the hot potato of the White Lotus Sect.

Whether the Ming Dynasty wants to attack the entire White Lotus Sect, or let the Hongzhi Emperor in the Forbidden City worry about it, he Zhou Chen just sat on the side and watched the excitement.

Of course, the most important point is that Zhou Chen's qualifications above the court are still very shallow after all.

He is just a new science detective, even if he has great merits, it is impossible to directly become a high-ranking official above the court all of a sudden.

It was impossible for the Manchu civil and military forces to allow this to happen.

For Zhou Chen, the current merit of arresting the candidate of the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect is just right and suitable.

No matter how high Zhou Chen was, he would not be able to get greater tangible benefits, so he couldn't afford to get entangled with the entire White Lotus Sect more and more.

After Chen Yun and Xu Yan heard Zhou Chen's decision, the two of them also agreed very much in their hearts.

Exterminating the White Lotus Sect rudder in Datong Mansion is undoubtedly a great achievement.

Among this credit, Zhou Chen, the official, will definitely occupy the vast majority of all the credit.

Although Chen Yun and Xu Yan were the rudder of the White Lotus Sect who was personally responsible for the encirclement and suppression, the two of them could only be regarded as assistants and assistants at most.

But for the two of them, it was already very satisfying for them.

After all, Chen Yun and Xu Yan's martial arts cultivation was only a second-rate realm, and in the face of the powerhouses in the White Lotus Sect and the high-level, the two of them did not have the slightest ability to deal with them.

Eat as much as you have as much appetite as you want, and the two of them still know this very well in their hearts.

The martial arts masters of the White Lotus Sect who are in the first-class realm, and even the pinnacle realm, should be dealt with by the masters in the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately, without any objections, Chen Yun and Xu Yan immediately bowed to Zhou Chen, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, the two of them will definitely escort the felons involved in this case to the capital safely." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhou Chen nodded lightly when he heard this, but his heart did not relax directly.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Chen turned his head and fell on the overlord who was sitting at the head of the sword, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "After all, this serious offender includes one of the candidates for the next sect leader of the White Lotus Sect, if the White Lotus Sect learns the news that this woman was escorted to the capital, there is a chance that there will be a master to intercept and rescue him on the way."

For the sake of insurance, Lao Liu, you should also follow Chen Yun and Xu Yan and the two of them on a journey! ”

After all, Badao is a rare top master in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, with his personal escort, coupled with the elite of the Jinyi Guard.

I'm afraid that even if the White Lotus Holy Mother led the master to rob the prisoner car, the probability of success in the end will not be high.

For Zhou Chen to trust him so much, Ba Dao's heart was also very happy, he stood up and said, "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates promise to escort these prisoners to the capital safe and sound." ”

Zhou Chen bowed slightly, and he chuckled and said: "It just so happens that there is a lot of revenue in the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market, so you can also escort it to the capital and present it to the Son of Heaven!"

With you in charge, the official can also rest assured. ”

"The subordinates will never live up to the expectations of the adults, if there is any mistake in this trip, the subordinates are willing to take responsibility for the head!"

With a solemn face, the sword made a military order to Zhou Chen in a sonorous voice.
