"Master?"

Zhang He's eyes lit up: "It seems that the girl is a member of the White Lotus Sect." ”

"You, you're not one of ours?"

Zhao Fengyi was stunned for a moment, and then said with wide eyes.

"I never said I was from the White Lotus Sect."

Zhang He smiled, walked over and opened the door, and saw Jiang Ning walking in with a calm face.

"Very good, it's the White Lotus Sect again, it's really a thief's heart that doesn't die, and the means are frequent!"

As soon as Zhao Fengyi saw Jiang Ning, her whole body couldn't stop trembling.

"Your little girl is all taught by the White Lotus, and it seems that your father is too. The White Lotus Sect is really powerful. ”

Jiang Ning ordered Zhao Fengyi to be closely guarded, and immediately went to Datong Prison to interrogate Zhao Jing.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he learned that Zhao Jing had died in prison.

The cause of death was tortured to death.

"Come on, arrest all the jailers who tortured Zhao Jing today, no matter what means are used, they will also be tried!"

Jiang Ning was really angry.

This is obviously the handiwork of the White Lotus Sect again.

He didn't care about finding out who did it, and directly tortured everyone simply and rudely.

As a result, the trial was revealed, and it was two of the jailers who had been ordered to do so.

But they're just the lowest minions, and they don't know anything.

After Jiang Ning ordered them to be executed, he returned to the post house and personally interrogated Zhao Fengyi.

"Miss Zhao, you are a lady, you should be reasonable.

You should have been in a different place when you participated in the White Lotus Sect, but this official really can't bear to have your head cut off by a lovely person like you, and is willing to give you a chance to atone for your sins.

As long as you tell everything you know, this official will save your life. ”

Zhao Fengyi didn't reply, but asked anxiously, "How is my father?" Did you do anything to him? ”

Jiang Ning smiled and said:

"Your father? Your father is very good, but his mouth is so hard that I can only beat him up.

He's passed out now.

But you don't have to worry, you don't have to worry about your life.

It's just that if you don't say it, then I can't guarantee it.

Miss Zhao, do you want your father and daughter to reunite peacefully, or do you want to meet in the underworld? ”

"You, you brute!"

Zhao Fengyi scolded and turned her face away, obviously with no intention of speaking.

"It's really similar to your father, toasting without eating and drinking."

Jiang Ning smacked his lips and stepped aside.

Zhang He immediately beckoned, and two fans stepped forward with whips and were about to start whipping.

It's just that as soon as they raised the whip, Zhao Fengyi suddenly fainted.

Zhang He hurriedly stepped forward to check, and said with an ugly face: "My lord, it is the secret technique of the White Lotus Sect, which is exactly the same as Qian An's time. ”

Jiang Ning's brows furrowed.

Is this secret art cheap?

Or is Zhao Fengyi's status in the White Lotus Sect not low?

But it shouldn't be, this kind of official lady who hasn't experienced anything at first glance is a little minion no matter how you look at it.

"Wait until she wakes up, you go get something ready."

After about two pillars of incense, Zhao Fengyi woke up leisurely and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that her clothes were intact and there were no wounds.

Just when she was secretly proud and about to faint again, Jiang Ning suddenly said:

"Miss Zhao doesn't have to work hard this time. The officer came up with a more interesting idea.

Do you see that bucket, it is full of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and there are not a few poisonous things.

It's freezing right now, and it's hard to find them.

Why don't Miss Zhao be kind and give them a new home for the winter. ”

Zhao Fengyi glanced at the wooden barrel, her pretty face turned white, and she said in a trembling voice: "You, what do you mean?" ”

"It's simple, when you're asleep, throw you into the bucket, and the little ones will feel warm and burrow into you.

Not only dresses, shoes and socks, but also where they shouldn't be drilled.

I think they'll sleep comfortably. ”

Zhao Fengyi's face was frightened, and she shouted bitterly: "No, don't! I said, I'll say everything. ”

"Very good, the person who knows the times is Junjie, Miss Zhao has made the right decision.

Come and help Miss Zhao untie her hands and feet. ”

With Zhao Fengyi's narration, Jiang Ning knew her purpose of approaching her.

It's just to lure you with beauty, and to get co-opted or get information by your side.

In addition, all the important figures of the White Lotus Sect in Datong have also died, and they have been caught, and the rest are inconsequential minions.

As for more, it wasn't something she could get her hands on.

"Thank you Miss Zhao for your cooperation, this official will do what he says, and it will not harm your life.

It's just that here's unfortunate news to inform you that your father is dead and has been eradicated by the White Lotus Sect.

I think it's to blame the officials, so that you can do things for them loyally. ”

"Father, father, woo woo!"

Zhao Fengyi sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, crying bitterly.

Jiang Ning shook his head and sighed, and asked him to be sent to a hidden room to take care of him, and he was about to go to meet Zhu Houzhao to report the matter.

At this time, it is the beginning of the rising sun.

On the way, he received news from Yang Yiqing that there was a roar in the border army barracks, with thousands of casualties.

This is all due to the panic, demoralization, and excessive pressure among the Japanese soldiers in the past few days.

Jiang Ning knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and he had to let Gu Dayong stop and give an explanation to Datong Wenwu and the soldiers of the border army.

"Your Majesty, the minister has an urgent military intelligence report!"

Zhu Houzhao just woke up, yawning and half-jokingly:

"What military intelligence? Isn't it the comeback of the Tartars? ”

Jiang Ning said solemnly: "It is dozens of times more serious than this, and if one is not good, it will be a mutiny among 100,000 border army soldiers!" ”

Zhu Houzhao said instantly: "What happened?" ”

Jiang Ningxuan was about to roar the military camp and the news he knew from Zhao Fengyi.

Finally, he said:

"Your Majesty, the army has been exhausted for several months, but instead of getting a good rest, they are immediately involved in the White Lotus Sect case.

I don't know how many generals have been taken into custody, how many soldiers have been in fear all day, and there are even many new generals who have no talent and no virtue, and they are harshly criticized and abused, so that they will suffer this catastrophe.

Therefore, in the opinion of the ministers, His Majesty should immediately make a conclusion on the case of the conspiracy, and must not continue.

In addition, it is necessary to release all civil and military officials who have been wrongfully arrested as soon as possible, to be reassured and reinstated.

The soldiers of the border army should also be given enough rewards to stabilize the morale of the army, and it is best for the soldiers who died in the camp this time to be compensated with the same gold and silver as those who died in battle.

In this way, we can stabilize the hearts of Datong people as quickly and best as possible. Otherwise, if the White Lotus Sect takes advantage of it, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. ”

"Jiang Shi, you have a point, so let's do it."

Jiang Ning answered the promise and continued:

"By the way, Your Majesty, General Yang and the generals of all ministries jointly wrote a letter, asking Your Majesty to remove Gonggong Gu from his post and give everyone an explanation."

Zhu Houzhao hesitated:

"Jiang Shiyu, Dayong has been following me for many years, if I remove him like this, he will definitely be very sad.

I also know the seriousness of the matter, but he is quite old, so he should not just be dismissed and resigned.

What's more, if he steps down as the commander of Dongchang, who should take over this position.

The group of servants around me seemed unfair to everyone. ”

Jiang Ning was stunned.

He didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to be now, and the first consideration was how not to hurt the hearts of the old people around him.

Such an emotional emperor is really worth following him.

Jiang Ning pondered for a while and said:

"Your Majesty, wasn't the former ceremonial supervisor Zhou Shangzhou's father-in-law assigned to Jinling a few months ago, why don't you recall him and let him serve as the overseer of Dongchang.

He was suddenly reinstated, and he will definitely be grateful to His Majesty and do things faithfully.

As for Father-in-law Gu, Jiangnan Kaihai was about to open the sea, so he was asked to go and take charge of presiding over relevant matters.

Although the authority is not as good as it is now, it is also a rare and good place, and it can be regarded as the fulfillment of the friendship between His Majesty and his monarchs and ministers. ”

Zhu Houzhao turned his worries into joy, and his eyebrows flew and danced:

"Okay, just do it, you won't blame me now.

Now go and proclaim my will, and let everyone go. ”

Jiang Ning was ordered to rush to the Yamen of Datong non-stop and release all the civil and military detainees in the prison.

The officials who saw the light of day again didn't know what was going on, and when they saw Jiang Ning coming in person, they thought of his identity, thinking that he was pleading with the emperor and saying good things, and they immediately wept with gratitude.

There are even many people who secretly rub their hearts to take refuge.

After this catastrophe, they also understood how powerless they would be if they did not have a solid backer in the court.

Jiang Ning did not refuse this, and said good words to appease.

At this time, Gu Dayong, who got the news, hurried over and looked at Jiang Ning in dismay:

"Lord Jiang, how did you release this group of criminals who colluded with the White Lotus Sect?"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials glared at him angrily, eager to eat him alive.

Gu Dayong snorted coldly, and was about to give them some color to take a look, but Jiang Ning stopped him and walked to the back hall.

"Father-in-law Gu, you have been dismissed."
