Chapter 027: Purging the Remnant

Carambola cleared her throat and began to tell everything she knew: "Rose is the protector of this sect, she directly obeys the orders of the sect leader, and her whereabouts are very mysterious on weekdays, and I haven't seen her a few times. Seven years ago, I heard that she had come to the capital on a secret mission, but I don't know what it was. I only heard that the mission failed later, and then she returned to Suzhou from the capital. Since then, it has been even more mysterious, and he stays at home all day. Five years ago, when we were surrounded and suppressed by the government, dozens of us escaped with the sect leader, but Rose's life and death are unknown. Later, we arrived in the capital, and since then there has been no place for her. ”

After a long silence, Lin Mubai asked, "Finished?" Anything else? ”

Carambola thought for a moment, shook her head and replied, "No." ”

"Okay." Lin Mubai said to the guards, "Take them down." ”

"You! You promised me! Just let me go! Star fruit struggled desperately in the hands of the guards.

Lin Mubai sneered: "Do you think I will easily let go of the person who tried to kill my daughter? ”

"You! You swore it! Your whole family will die a bad death! "Star fruit is still hysterical.

"I only swore an oath, I didn't say anything." Lin Mubai glanced at her impatiently and said to the guards, "Take it away!" ”

"Lin Mubai! I won't let you go even if I become a ghost! The star fruit's voice faded away, and finally it was no longer heard.

Lin Mubai sat on his chair as if he hadn't heard anything, and fell into deep thought.

A few years ago, the two brothers had just separated, and because of Han Sumei, the two of them felt embarrassed to meet, so the two families rarely interacted. Unexpectedly, two years later, the eldest brother died violently. It was hot summer at that time, and the body could not be parked for too long, so it was buried after the funeral was done in a hurry. At that time, he was suspicious that his eldest brother died of an illness in the prime of life, but before he could find out the cause, his father soon died. As soon as his father was buried, the emperor's appointment came down again, and he hurried to Jiangnan again. All these years have passed, and he is about to forget about it.

It wasn't until the last time Han Sumei went to the Lin Mansion to find him to re-raise the matter, which confirmed his initial suspicions. The bloody brocade was proof, and he had someone examine the blood on it, and found a very small amount of mercury. This shows that someone put a trace amount of poison in the eldest brother's diet for a long time, which led to the deepening of the poison and finally his violent death.

He originally suspected that Han Sumei was poisoned, because she had always been right and wrong to marry her eldest brother. But the brocade was brought by herself, so she was ruled out of suspicion. From the current situation, it seems that this rose is seriously suspicious. But the information that the star fruit just leaked said that her life and death were unknown, and perhaps she had already died in the encirclement and suppression operation five years ago. He just wants revenge, and he has no chance.

This White Lotus Sect is really haunting, not only stirring up the peace of the entire Xi Dynasty, but even killing his own brother and almost killing his daughter. Thinking of this, Lin Mubai couldn't help but clench his fists to turn white and blue.

Just then, a guard came in and presented him with a secret message. When I opened it, it was the emperor's secret decree that ordered him to quickly arrest these White Lotus cultists within one day, and all the officials involved in the case must cooperate with the arrest operation, and those who resist the decree will be punished as complicity.

It couldn't have come at a better time. Lin Mubai closed the secret decree with a "snap", and gave an order: "Gather everyone together!" Follow the list and catch me, and don't let anyone go! ”

The arrest operation proceeded at lightning speed. The guards, who were divided into more than a dozen groups, rushed into the mansions of all the officials involved in the case at the same time according to the time set by Lin Mubai, captured the White Lotus disciples disguised as concubines, and did not give them any time to escape or report to them. In addition to the sect leader, all the remnants of the White Lotus Sect scattered in the capital have been taken down.

When the emperor learned of this, he was overjoyed. Although he still didn't catch the sect leader this time, he also swept away the power of the White Lotus Sect, how much more power could the general who lost his pawn have?

Lin Mubai later played the cause and effect of the matter one by one in the secret compromise, starting from the White Lotus Sect when he was in Jiangnan, when he planted people next to the princess, to the poisoning incident in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and then to the recent incident of the princess falling asleep.

Regarding what happened recently, Lin Mubai's version to the emperor is like this: Mei Xiang poisoned the princess because she was discovered by the princess to shut her up, and sneaked out of the mansion every night to meet her comrades, and after being discovered by the people of the Lin Mansion, she secretly reported to Lin Mubai, Lin ordered his family not to act rashly, so as not to startle the snake, and at the same time secretly returned to Beijing in advance and lurked outside the mansion, followed Mei Xiang all the way to Yiqing Building, arrested her and her comrades, and at the same time led out the rest of the people.

It must be said that the emperor was a little suspicious at first, but the people he sent secretly investigated and confirmed that what Lin Mubai played was true, so he put his mind at ease and finally dispelled his suspicion of Lin Mubai for five years.

However, the secret agent he sent said again, and there was gossip that when Lin Mubai captured those people in Yiqing Building, Lin Zhilan, the second lady of the Lin Mansion, was actually present and was kidnapped by Mei Xiang. Therefore, Lin Mubai killed Na Meixiang on the spot, and afterwards ordered all the people present to rot the matter into their stomachs, otherwise they would be killed. The guards who went with him that day were all secretive about this matter, and they didn't know about it, and it took a lot of time for the spy to confirm the news from the mouth of a prostitute in Hualou.

Lin Mubai never mentioned a word of these things in the excerpt. Think about it, people's daughters were robbed in the flower building when they were only five years old, how will this girl marry in the future! In this regard, the emperor was very tolerant and said that it was understandable, and he would have done the same if it had been changed. At the same time, he also silenced the spy on the matter, and did not allow the reputation of the girl's daughter.

For these remnants of the White Lotus Sect that were caught, the emperor was determined to cut down the grass and eradicate the root cause to prevent future troubles, so he hooked the pen and handed over their lives to the king of Hades. At the same time, Lin Mubai, the former guard of the imperial guard, made meritorious contributions to the removal of thieves and was promoted to the secretary of the criminal department.

The White Lotus Sect once spread rumors in the capital and instigated ruffians to set fire to many homes and shops, so for the people, this is a very happy thing. Three days later, the people of the capital gathered at the entrance of the vegetable market to watch the cut. After the execution, their heads were hung at the city gates for two days. Although it was quite terrifying to see the bloody head when entering and exiting the city gate, it also reminded everyone that there would be no White Lotus Sect from now on, which made the people feel a lot more at ease.

At this point, a major case in the first year of the Qing Dynasty of the Xi Dynasty finally came to an end, and the White Lotus Sect, which had been raging in the world for more than 20 years, was completely wiped out again after 5 years of survival.
