Chapter 32 The Death of the White Clothes Thirty-two

Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing also saw the change in the tactics of the army, and knew that this time the army had already thought about completely eliminating the White Lotus Sect. Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing glanced at each other and made a crazy decision. Now, even if the White Lotus Sect disciples here were not injured during the infighting, they had already begun to fight to exhaustion. Coupled with the strength of the army's encirclement tactics, it is very likely that it will be difficult to escape. The only chance now is for Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing to join forces and use their couple's strong swordsmanship to kill them. However, if you do this, it is equivalent to sacrificing so many cronies of Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing. For this meeting, in order to settle the people here, Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing brought almost all of their cronies over. If these supporters were lost, Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing would almost become "light pole commanders". But in order to save their lives, in order to have a chance to make a comeback, their husband and wife had to sacrifice these old subordinates.

Although Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing were killed, their husband and wife were not only injured themselves, but also lost a large group of cronies. When they returned to the main altar, the families of these cronies were disappointed in Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing when they learned that their relatives had died. Some short-tempered people even accused Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing in person. After Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing lost a large number of followers, they once again experienced the abandonment of their subordinates.

Fang Dahai's "West Camp" completely collapsed because of Fang Dahai's death, and the "South Camp" where the old forces of the White Lotus Sect were located were also finished. Although the "old camp" where Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing are located is barely maintained, their strength and strength are not as good as before. After the imperial court experienced this battle, nearly sixty percent of the White Lotus Sect's power was exhausted. Since the White Lotus Sect has been difficult to achieve, although it has not been completely eliminated, it can no longer fundamentally threaten the imperial court. Although there were not many White Lotus disciples directly killed by the imperial court, the followers of the White Lotus Sect who had lost their backbone leadership had lost their faith and leaders. The White Lotus Sect, which claimed to have millions of people, and the glorious White Lotus Sect under the leadership of Tang Sai'er has now fallen. A large number of followers of the White Lotus Sect broke away from the White Lotus Sect, and a large number of disciples under the name of the White Lotus Sect lived in seclusion or withdrew. Although there are still tens of thousands of White Lotus Sect disciples in name, there are not many disciples who are truly firm in their beliefs. After the imperial court took in more and more White Lotus Sect defectors, it felt that the time had come. The imperial court is openly wanted by the White Lotus Sect bandit leaders, including Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing, and there is no need to worry about the White Lotus Sect's retaliatory counterattack.

A few years later, there was another internal contradiction within the White Lotus Sect, this time it was Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing who had a stalemate. Lu Dacheng handed over the power to Yan Xiaoqing, but in fact, Yan Xiaoqing controlled the daily affairs of the White Lotus Sect at the right time. Lu Dacheng inadvertently inquired, only to learn that the White Lotus Sect had reached the point of exhaustion, not only a large number of personnel were lost, but also the funds were quite tight. Lu Dacheng asked his wife Yan Xiaoqing why he embezzled a large amount of public funds from the White Lotus Sect. Yan Xiaoqing finally said her plan to secretly embezzle public funds and leave a way back for herself. Although Lu Dacheng is already very greedy for power, he is still very loyal to the White Lotus Sect, and he is not as faithless as Yan Xiaoqing. Lu Dacheng finally broke out an argument with his wife, and Yan Xiaoqing thought that her husband Lu Dacheng was just making a fuss, so he acted arbitrarily as always. Lu Dacheng finally understood his wife's thoughts, it turned out that Yan Xiaoqing did not love him as a person, but power and reputation, and no man could accept this result. Lu Dacheng and his wife Yan Xiaoqing finally got into a fight, and Yan Xiaoqing left the main altar with some people.

Shortly after Yan Xiaoqing left, a traitor from the White Lotus Sect led the imperial court's troops to kill and wound the main altar. Lu Dacheng led his subordinates to fight the army of the imperial court for three days and three nights, and finally Lu Dacheng died in battle. The imperial court hung Lu Dacheng's body on the flagpole, forcing the White Lotus Sect to surrender. The White Lotus Sect's original impregnable general altar was finally broken by the imperial court's troops. The imperial court took advantage of this result and directly announced that the White Lotus Sect had been wiped out, and the White Lotus Sect leader Lu Dacheng and others were all strangled.

Yan Xiaoqing and some of his people continued to use the banner of the White Lotus Sect, but they had become robbers and bandits who caused trouble. It's not that the army doesn't want to eliminate these people, but because of Yan Xiaoqing's cunning, it didn't completely eliminate these people. Yan Xiaoqing's two daughters were also separated in the war, the eldest daughter Lu Yue'er ran away from home and disappeared in her early years, and the younger daughter Lu Hua'er was also separated from her mother Yan Xiaoqing shortly after Yan Xiaoqing left the White Lotus Sect General Altar. In order to find these two daughters, Yan Xiaoqing also spent a lot of thought and time, but nothing came of it.

Qin Tai discussed with the old drunkard master for a long time, and he didn't have any valuable clues and ideas. I have to wait for news from other quarters, hoping for progress and hope. Soon after, Zhan Xiaoxiao returned, and she had already handed over the portrait to the soldiers guarding the city and some people in the rivers and lakes. With the prestige and credibility of He Zhanxiao, everyone will help Zhan Xiaoxiao find this female artist. The East Factory and Jinyi Guards in the city secretly investigated, there were officers and soldiers guarding the city and people in the rivers and lakes at the city gate, and the army outside the city was interrogated door to door, and if the female artist had no helpers and no precise arrangement, it would be impossible to escape. It's just that others don't know if this female artist will have crazy moves.

Just when Qin Tai and the others were waiting for news, the appearance of a person made progress in the case. This person's name is Han Ju, and he is an old person that Zhan Xiaoxiao knew. Han Ju is also called Old Han Tou, not because he is a little old, but because he looks old, so everyone calls him that. He turned out to be a catcher in Jiang Su, but he was later fired because of some problems, and he had to be a "bounty hunter". Zhan Xiaoxiao met this old Han when he was wandering the rivers and lakes, and later used this old Han when he was solving the case. When Zhan Xiaoxiao posted a message by the city gate, asking everyone to help her find this female artist, Lao Han Tou recognized Zhan Xiaoxiao. Old Han Tou followed Zhan Xiaoxiao to this Jinyi Acropolis South Branch, hoping that Zhan Xiaoxiao would give him a temporary job.

Although the arrest of the yamen belongs to the government, it cannot be regarded as an official, and even an official is not counted. Generally, the fast fishing in small places is not only not of the grade, but even the wages are paid by the masters of the yamen in various places. According to the current statement, they belong to the hired system of servants, not only do they have no labor insurance, but they also have few benefits. However, with this "skin", it is not only majestic but also makes others afraid of themselves, so some people prefer to be fast. Old Han's kung fu is not very good, but he also has his unique skills. But the old Han has a shortcoming, that is, he is very greedy for money and likes petty theft. For this reason, he lost this hard-won errand and caused his wife to run away from home. Later, the old man had to live by helping the government catch criminals, and everyone called this kind of person "bounty hunter". Over the years, Lao Han Tou has felt more and more that his physical strength is not good, in order to find a job, he came to the capital, but he didn't expect that the work here is even more difficult to find, not to mention, and even the cost of going home is gone.

Old Han flattered Zhan Xiaoxiao with a dead face, hoping that Zhan Xiaoxiao would leave him, even if he was a handyman in the yamen. Old Han Tou told Zhan Xiaoxiao that he hadn't eaten properly for several days, and he didn't want to starve to death in the capital. Qin Tai on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, and agreed to help Old Han Tou find a job. Old Han Tou didn't know Qin Tai originally, and he didn't know that Qin Tai was the most authoritative person here. However, he saw Zhan Xiaoxiao's respect for Qin Tai, and immediately thought that Qin Tai Cohen could be an official with status. Old Han immediately slapped Qin Tai on the back and praised Qin Tai like a flower. While praising Qin Tai, Old Han Tou told his misfortune and said that he was quite miserable.

When Old Han Tou talked about the fact that he had been a fast catcher in Suyang for the third time, even Qiu Xiaoqiu, who was absent-minded, began to pay attention. Su yang? Isn't it as white as snow, no, it should be the place where Yan Lu lived? No wonder Qin Tai suddenly decided to help this old Han head, it turned out to be to inquire about Su Yang.

Zhan Xiaoxiao put a silver ingot on the table, and the old Han Tou looked at the silver ingots almost without blinking. Judging from the act of constantly swallowing his saliva, he was already moved. In Lao Hantou's opinion, this ingot of silver is not silver, but a big roast chicken, a pot of good wine, and a large table of good dishes. Although Old Han Tou didn't know why Zhan Xiaoxiao did this, Old Han Tou knew that he might not have to starve anymore.

Qin Tai pointed to the ingot of silver and said, "I'll ask you a few questions, if you can give me a satisfactory answer, this ingot of silver is yours." But if what you say is not true, or if it is not satisfactory to me, you will never get this ingot. If you say yes, just nod. ”

Less than a second after speaking, Old Han immediately nodded in agreement. For him, this ingot of silver is the most important, even if it costs his old life, or even asks him to betray his relatives, he is willing to do so. The old drunkard master on the side hinted at Qiu Xiaoqiu, and Qiu Xiaoqiu arranged the stationery on the side, ready to record every word that the old Han Tou said.
