Chapter 250: The Operation Begins

On the other hand, on Wei Zhongxian's side, since Zhu Youzhena received the order, the sweep against the White Lotus Sect began.

But if he wanted to eliminate the White Lotus Sect once and for all, not only did Zhu Youzhen not have this idea, but even Wei Zhongxian felt that this was too idealistic.

Therefore, it has become the best choice to use thunderous means to carry out large-scale purges at one time and continuously compress the living space of the White Lotus Sect and other cults through continuous propaganda and education methods.

To this end, Wei Zhongxian made a meticulous plan at the beginning of the operation.

It can be said that under the surveillance of the intelligence network within the Ming Dynasty, the area where the White Lotus Sect is currently active.

Wei Zhongxian now has a preliminary grasp.

"Our family's words have been said very clearly, and if you don't understand, go home early to farm and retire, don't block our family here." Wei Zhongxian sat in the conference hall of the East Factory, his fingers pinched lightly, and his words had a somewhat threatening tone.

And now sitting next to Wei Zhongxian is even Luo Yangxing, who has always been a family with Wei Zhongxian on the surface, but has always been secretly unconvinced behind the scenes.

The appearance of Luo Yangxing is enough to prove how determined Wei Zhongxian is to preliminarily clear the White Lotus Sect this time.

"Father-in-law Wei.. On behalf of Jinyi Weixian, Luo Mou expressed his attitude that he would fully cooperate with Dongchang's actions and his father-in-law's arrangements for cleaning up cultists like the White Lotus Sect..."

Luo Yangxing took the lead in stating that although Jinyiwei seems to be weaker than Dongchang now, as an intelligence agency that is nominally equal to Dongchang, it is most appropriate for him to open this mouth first.

"If we don't say anything else, we must do a little bit! Fast! Be ruthless! Wei Zhongxian's eyes showed a cold light and said sharply.

If Zhu Youzhen's words mean that the action against the White Lotus Sect has been put on the agenda.

So now Wei Zhongxian's words.

Undoubtedly proves the beginning of this operation.

......

Shandong.

As the area where the White Lotus Sect is now most entrenched, it has also suffered the most poison.

It is also the focus of Wei Zhongxian's main force in the East Factory this time, and due to the lack of manpower in the East Factory, Jinyiwei was also used.

"The imperial court is tyrannical, and the people are miserable, and we gather here as Maitreya sect members in order to one day rise up and give the people a bright future! Return the world to a prosperous peace! ”

A middle-aged man with a high status in the White Lotus Sect was excitedly preaching to the surrounding people in a village.

At the same time, the other members of the White Lotus Sect also took one basket after another from the carriage.

"So everyone! If you have money to contribute, you can only have a way out if you join the White Lotus Sect! Only by contributing money for the White Lotus Sect can we have peace for the prosperous world! ”

The faces of the people were also flushed.

When a woman with a child in her arms heard this, she said to the people around her with excitement: "My child was seriously ill before, and when my family had no money to seek medical treatment, it was a talisman of the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect that saved my child's life!" ”

"Ahh Is there such a thing? ”

"That's right! How can this be done fakely, my child with a miserable life can only be saved because of the great benevolent people of the White Lotus Sect! ”

After saying that, he untied a large handful of copper coins from the purse he was carrying, and scattered them in the basket.

For a time, the people donated generously.

Not only did the members of the White Lotus Sect take out the silver money from their arms, but even some ordinary people passing by heard that they had taken out a lot of money.

After all, in the eyes of these simple people, even if they have the right to spend money to buy peace for themselves, it is worth it.

Just when the White Lotus Sect members were happy and had taken a large sum of money from the pockets of the people.

Sudden mutation!

A group of Dongchang factory guards armed with long knives came quickly from a distance, and the discerning people knew at a glance that something big was going to happen.

As soon as they saw the White Lotus Sect members guarding the factory in the distance, they were also panicked for a while, until someone shouted.

"The officers and soldiers of the imperial court are here!"

A group of people who had just begun to panic and fled in a hurry, but how could the factory guards of the East Factory, who had already been deployed earlier, only come from the front.

In the countryside where everyone gathers, there are a large number of Dongchang people in ambush, and even in the woods, the purpose is to prevent people from escaping.

After all, those who stood in place and prayed to escape by fishing in troubled waters were probably some of the little minions of the White Lotus Sect.

And the one who really chose to run away at the first time.

It is often some of the "big fish" that deserve the attention of Dongchang!

.. It didn't take long for a group of Dongchang factory guards to come from the roadside, among the crowds, in the corners of the woods, and even from the homes of the people on the side of the road... Even the White Lotus Sect members were found in the vegetable cellar at home one after another.

In an instant, the Dongchang factory guards have gained a lot, but this is still far from enough, after all, the White Lotus Sect is intricate here.

It is by no means a solution that can be solved by one or two centralized arrests, so Wei Zhongxian once again petitioned Zhu Youzhen to come to Shandong in person.

It's just that this time it was rejected by Zhu Youzhen.

In the end, the helpless Wei Zhongxian still gave this opportunity to Luo Yangxing, and Luo Yangxing is worthy of his father's position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, although the kneecap is in history, facing Li Zicheng and Houjin to surrender twice and change hands.

But in the face of the current purge against the White Lotus Sect, I have to say that Zhu Youzhen is really right.

As soon as I arrived in Shandong.

Luo Yangxing began to investigate the White Lotus Sect on a large scale, ranging from the trajectory of action and the area of activity, to the composition of personnel and the way of preaching.

There is nothing that Luo Yangxing does not care about, although it has always been synonymous with laziness in Zhu Youzhen's view, after all, Luo Yangxing is such a person in history.

However, the situation is very different now, unlike Emperor Chongzhen, who was valued by Emperor Chongzhen in history, and the current Luo Yang has been neglected for a long time.

As long as there is a chance, as long as you can be caught by him.

He will not let go of these opportunities.

At the same time, he took the lead in running the Shandong Daily in Shandong, and the purpose of the newspaper can be seen from the exposure and criticism of the White Lotus Sect or the variants spawned by the various schools based on the White Lotus Sect.

It is to break the mask of hypocrisy of the White Lotus Sect in the minds of the people, and preach the things that have confused the people in the White Lotus Sect for so many years.

Take the lead in laying a good foundation for public opinion for this action.

"Send someone to build a big prison, I estimate that there will be not a few people caught this time, it is inevitable that there will be people who want to fish in troubled waters, they would rather be slow than miss a person!" Luo Yangxing said sternly to the brocade guards under him.
