Liu Xin nodded in agreement.

"Ban Qianhu, then how do you think that in the vast number of 100,000 people, coupled with such a vast territory, how can we find those White Lotus Sects that are hiding like rats?"

"This ...... Subordinates are incompetent! ”

There is no good way for Panzong to do so, but to simply admit his mistakes.

"Ban Qianhu, it's not that you're incompetent, even I can't accurately find this group of people from the vast sea of people.

But I have an idea. ”

"Subordinates, but listen to the orders of the adults!"

Panzong's attitude is actually his greatest strength.

Liu Xin thought silently in his heart, no wonder Dai De'an trusted him so much and regarded him as a confidant.

"Our mission this time is to find out the rebels of the White Lotus Sect who are hiding behind the scenes and inciting the people to rebel.

But our ultimate goal is to protect this group of ignorant people, but behind the people there is the instigation of the White Lotus Sect, so there is a rebellion.

We need to first clarify this relationship. ”

Liu Xin said slowly, and Ban Zong listened attentively.

The latter also admires Liu Xin very much, and he has such achievements at such a young age.

Dai De'an once instructed Ban Zong that Liu Xin has an excellent mind, coupled with his cultivation talent against the sky, he will be able to resist the wind and turn the dragon in the future, and rise to the top.

Dai De'an asked Ban Zong to assist Liu Xin well, and his end point in the future will definitely not be the position of the commander of Jinyiwei.

As long as Ban Zong does his best to assist Liu Xin, Dai De'an will also help him, and finally when Liu Xin rises to the top, Ban Zong will be able to accept Jinyiwei's affairs.

Therefore, what Ban Zong wanted in his heart was to be able to learn a little more from Liu Xin.

At this time, hearing Liu Xin say this, he naturally agreed.

Although he vaguely felt in his heart that it was a little inappropriate to do so well, his gaze silently fell on the list in his hand.

"Ban Qianhu, since our ultimate goal is to calm the people.

Then I think the best way to do that is to give the people what they need. ”

Liu Xin continued, he thought of the situation outside the imperial capital that Senior Brother Cheng had told him about early this morning.

Once the rebels reach a village or town, they will stay for a while.

During this time, most of the rebels were searching for food and other supplies.

They're not so much rebels as they're just a bunch of hungry outcasts.

If it weren't for the White Lotus Sect instigating behind them, they wouldn't have dared to charge the imperial army at all.

And Liu Xin's idea is very straightforward.

"The list is already a list of landlords and gentry who have been found to have real evidence of crimes.

Now these people are hiding in their own fortresses.

It stands to reason that these people's forts contain countless amounts of food, and the rebels are mostly made up of refugees, and these forts should be the first to be attacked.

Now that most of these forts are safe and sound, I believe that the landlords and gentry in these forts may have colluded with the White Lotus Sect rebels.

Otherwise, why the rebels would attack will not do any good at all, but will cause an army with great casualties. ”

Liu Xin's words gradually shook Banzong's heart, and it seemed that it was really like what Liu Xin said.

Of course, the truth is not what Liu Xin said.

The reason why the rebels have been attacking the army is because the White Lotus Sect behind it is completely aimed at creating chaos.

They don't care if the rebels are fed by refugees.

They prefer that the rebels stay hungry all the time, so that they can be more easily controlled.

"So we need to help this group of people now, to find their true purpose!"

"I wonder what you're going to do?"

Ban Zong pinched the list in his hand.

This group of people is indeed evil, and there are many crimes that have been investigated here, and the evidence is conclusive.

It's just that behind these landlords and gentry are all court officials, so Jinyiwei has always been hidden.

But the key is why Jinyiwei wants to hide it, not because he is afraid of the court officials behind these people.

It is impossible for Jinyiwei to offend so many people for no reason.

Just to catch a few small landlords.

But now, according to Liu Xin's meaning, he wants to attack these landlords, which will undoubtedly make Jinyiwei and the group of court officials stand on the opposite side.

But Panjong has no objection right now.

First of all, this mission, after leaving the city, all of them must unconditionally obey Liu Xin's orders.

This is an order from Dedean.

Secondly, Ban Zong thought that what Liu Xin said was reasonable, and Ban Zong was not good at these things, but after listening to it himself, he felt that what Liu Xin said was indeed like that, so he didn't want to think about it too much, and directly implemented it.

What he does best is execution, not planning.

Liu Xin's main thing is to persuade Banzong.

Because the main executor behind is Panzong.

Seeing Ban Zong's expression at this time, he already understood that this matter should be done.

"Then let's get moving.

The first is the first target I have chosen.

Ban Qianhu to see if it is suitable. ”

Saying that, Liu Xin took out a simple map and pointed in a direction, and Ban Zong immediately looked over.

"There is a rebel army of about 5,000 people here in Zhangjiabao.

This is the closest rebel army to the Imperial Capital.

And Zhangjiabao claimed the right to be punished according to the law according to the evidence of the crime that Jinyiwei had verified.

But this rebel army has been wandering in several villages and towns outside Zhangjiabao, faintly confronting a military town twenty miles away from here.

If nothing else, the rebels will eventually attack the town.

And among this rebel army, there are also rebels from the White Lotus Sect.

The specific plan is like this......"

After a while, Liu Xin got out of his plan completely, and Ban Zong was stunned when he heard it.

He only felt that Liu Xin was really as Dai said, extremely smart and resourceful.

"What do you think of Ban Qianhu?"

"At your disposal!"

"Good!"

Seeing that Banzong nodded in agreement, Liu Xin directly ordered everyone to go to Zhangjiabao.

But an hour later, the group came to Zhangjiabao.

Zhangjiabao is really like a small fortress, and there is a stone wall as high as one zhang on the periphery, and many warriors hired by Zhangjiabao are standing on the stone wall, holding short crossbows and weapons in their hands.

"Who's coming?"

There was a warrior on the stone wall who saw more than forty horsemen coming below, and immediately made people raise their short crossbows and aim them below.

Liu Xin rode his horse to the stone wall alone, and with a wave of his hand, a token was thrown up.

The person at the head above was also a Dacheng Realm martial artist, and he easily took what Liu Xin threw out.

Because it's not fast, it's not a hidden weapon.

After getting the token thrown out by Liu Xin, this person's face changed slightly.

With his ability, he would naturally be able to discern that this token was real.

"Lord Yu Linwei, I don't know why you came to Zhangjiabao?"

The man's tone suddenly became much more polite, but he still didn't give the order for the door to be opened to the stone wall.

"On the orders of the imperial court, come and unite all the fortresses to fight the enemy together!

Now can you open the door and let us in? ”

The face of the man on the stone wall changed, as if he was thinking about something.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and hugged his fists:

"My lord also asks Haihan, the villain has to report this matter to my master.

This villain really can't call the shots, please wait a while. ”

With that, he threw the token down again, and then turned and disappeared over the stone wall.

Liu Xin took the token, which he asked Dai Dean for begging.

A hundred household tokens of Yu Linwei.

If you directly use the name of Jinyiwei, the people of this fortress may not dare to open it.

A moment later, the gate under the stone wall slowly opened, and the man reappeared, trotting all the way to Liu Xin's horse.

"My lord, my master invited him into the fort, and he was inconvenienced, so he greeted him in the fort."

The man has a great realm of cultivation, although his tone is humble, but when he looks closely, there is a look of arrogance on his face.

After all, if there are 100 households, it is often not a Dacheng realm cultivation, and even if it is, it is only a low-grade Dacheng realm.

Comparable to this man.

When today's warriors are respected.

Even if Liu Xin has an official identity, this man is only superficially polite.

Liu Xin didn't act like a very bureaucrat, turned over and dismounted, and the rest of the people did the same, and everyone entered Zhangjiabao together.

As soon as he entered the gate, Liu Xin saw the open space where grain was drying in the distance.

There are still many people busy in the open space.

Judging by their dress, they should be tenant farmers of the landlord's family.

These men were yellow, thin, and scrawny, but their hands and feet were not slow at all, and around them were several burly and fierce overseers.

Liu Xin even saw someone with a leather whip in his hand.

Liu Xin's gaze only stayed on the threshing floor for a moment.

"My lord, I don't know what the imperial court has directed?

There are many rebels in that group, but fortunately, my lord is sympathetic to the people nearby.

and bring them into this fort.

Otherwise, they will suffer from war! ”

This man has some low-grade Dacheng realm cultivation, his name is Zhang Shu, and his strength is about the same level as that of Jianghu scattered cultivation.

This man's surname should be the same as that of the owner.

Zhang Shu just saw Liu Xin's eyes, so he made some explanations, with a sad and compassionate look on his face.

"This group of hateful rebels, what do you say they are not doing well, they want to be rebels and harm innocent people, my lord can't look down on these things the most."

"The imperial court sent me and others because of these rebels.

If you want to deal with these rebels, it is not enough to rely on the strength of the imperial court, so you sent me and others to ask for some military rations and supplies. ”

Liu Xin said straight to the point, hearing this, Zhang Shu's face relaxed, and it was really the same as what the old man said.

These people may really come with orders from the imperial court, but at the same time they also have to reap some benefits for themselves.

If that's all there is to it, it's not too much of a problem at all.

Just as everyone was walking inside, Liu Xin inadvertently caught a glimpse of an entourage beside Zhang Shu.

The latter was passing the news to Liu Xin in the code words of the secret investigation team at this time.

In Zhangjiabao, there is only one Dacheng realm martial artist in Zhang Shu.

After getting the news, Liu Xin suddenly stopped suddenly.

Zhang Shu led the way in front, but suddenly found that the people behind him stopped, and couldn't help but turn their heads strangely.

But what greeted him was a brilliant sword light.

Not only him, but even Ban Zong, who was following Liu Xin, didn't expect that Liu Xin would suddenly attack and kill people directly.

Although Zhang Shu's cultivation is also in the Dacheng realm, he is only the existence at the bottom of this realm.

Faced with a sword without warning, he didn't have time to react at all.

Zhang Shu only saw a brilliant sword light in front of him filling his eyes, and the next moment he couldn't perceive anything.

Just when the entourage around him was still in a daze, Liu Xin had already said coldly:

"Kill!"

Although Ban Zong and the others were puzzled, even they were frightened, and they never imagined that Liu Xin would suddenly burst out and kill people.

But hearing Liu Xin's order, the elite of their group of brocade guards still reacted immediately.

And Liu Xin pretended to catch an entourage of Zhang Shu, who was the internal response of the secret investigation team.

"Take me to your master!"

Liu Xin said coldly.

This person also pretended to look frightened, and walked forward with Liu Xin in a trembling manner.

As for the rest of the entourage, as long as they have weapons in their hands, they are all targeted by only one of the others.

In an instant, this rabble had been slaughtered by the elite of the Jinyi Guard.

This time, almost all of the households brought out by Liu Xin were thousands of households or elite flag officers.

Cultivation is also the late stage of Xiaochengjing.

There are also two of them who are cultivators who have just entered the Dacheng realm.

After Jinyiwei changed hands, Dai De'an rewarded a lot of cultivation materials, and the strength of Jinyiwei in the imperial capital has almost recovered to the level of Wang Zhongjie's period.

Such a group of people facing these loose cultivators in Zhangjiabao are almost like killing chickens with knives.

All the way to the core area of Zhangjiabao, where the mansions are extremely luxurious, and even have a little Jiangnan delicacy.

It can be seen that the owner of this house has put in the effort and cost of decoration.

Under the plaque of Zhangfu, Zhang Quan, the owner of Zhangjiabao, is already waiting here.

The other party is only a hundred households, so naturally there is no need for him to go out to greet him.

Being able to stand at the door to greet you is already a great face for the other party.

Zhang Quan carried his hands behind his back, a wisp of mustache was extremely delicately groomed, he was only in his early forties, because his father left early, and all the family business became his.

And he is also good at management, and has a deep relationship with several members of the imperial court.

Every year, there is never a shortage of ice and carbon tribute.

It's just that there was a sudden military disaster this year, and he has been settling accounts at home, and he only feels that he may lose so much this year.

After all, it was not yet the time for the autumn harvest, and a lot of grain was in the fields outside the fort, although a batch was finally harvested.

However, most of them are not ripe, and this year's grain output has been reduced by at least 50 percent.

He didn't take the so-called Yulin Wei Baihu to heart at all, and he was still thinking about his income this year.

"Otherwise, raise the rent of those tenants by 20%.

They keep a harvest for themselves, and they should be able to survive next year.

You can't afford to lose. ”

"Old man......"

Just when Zhang Quan was thinking in his heart, an entourage next to him exclaimed.

"What for!

Didn't see the master, am I thinking? ”

Zhang Quan let out a low shout, but the attendant stumbled and continued to shout.

"Old ...... Master! You ......"

"What are you!"

Zhang Quan was originally facing the gate, but when he turned around and was about to scold the attendant, he saw a group of people in the distance out of the corner of his eye.

Zhang Quan straightened up and looked over there, and the next moment he was full of excitement, and his face turned pale in a hurry.

"What's the situation!"

He only saw Liu Xin holding the Dao Breaking Sword, followed by a murderous group of people, each holding weapons, and many of them still had blood stains on their bodies......

Zhang ...... Didn't Zhang Shu say that Yu Linwei came...... Why is it a group of rebels coming! ”

Zhang Quan was already stupid, and subconsciously regarded Liu Xin and others as rebels.

So, when Liu Xin and the others approached here, Zhang Quan knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation.

"Rebels...... Ah no, the rebel lord spares his life!

I'm here...... The owner of this place.

Welcome to all the rebels! ”

Liu Xin's face was a little weird, and he glanced at Ban Zong beside him, who also had a different color on his face.

"The righteous lords are really timely, the little old man has already asked his tenant farmers to dry the grain, in order to save some effort when the rebels come."

Finding that Liu Xin and the others didn't speak, Zhang Quan's thoughts were extremely complicated, but he only thought of such a good way.

That is to conspire with this group of rebels, in this case, maybe he can save a life.

"The rebels are really timely!

The little old man waited for thousands of years to wait for the old men of the rebel army to come and rescue the little old man!

You don't know how hard the little old man is living at the foot of this imperial capital!

It's just that we were bullied and oppressed by those dog emperors and dog ministers all day long, and they even ordered us to fight against the rebels.

Little Lao'er thought to himself, I can't do such a ruthless and unrighteous thing.

Therefore, Zhangjiabao was closed to avoid hurting the rebels.

Xiao Lao'er's heart is towards the righteous army, and Xiao Lao'er is willing to offer all his family wealth to the righteous army.

I just hope that the righteous army can set foot on the court of that dog's day! ”

Zhang Quan made a start, and the more he said the following words, the smoother he became.

However, these words fell on the ears of Liu Xin and others, like a muffled thunder.

Everyone couldn't have imagined that this little landlord would dare to say so.

The person who can say such things in front of Jinyiwei is definitely a person with boldness and great perseverance!

"This ......"

Liu Xin finally spoke.

When Zhang Quan heard the "leader of the rebel army" speak, he immediately answered:

"Little old man Zhang Quan, add as the master of this Zhangjiabao.

Oh no, now the owner of this fort is already a rebel army, and the little old man is willing to serve the rebel army! ”

Saying that, Zhang Quan bowed down heavily, as if he was really happy and convinced, and he was loyal after death.

Liu Xin saw that the other party was like this, but he felt ridiculous for a while.

"Get up!"

Liu Xin said coldly.

Except for Zhang Quan, the other entourages around him had already knelt down with him, and now they didn't dare to get up when they heard this.

Zhang Quan straightened up and finally saw the appearance of the person in front of him.

The leader of the rebels is so young!

Zhang Quan thought so in his heart.
