Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

Although the Jinling Thousand Households Office was not far from the palace, Zhu Jingxing still brought nearly 300 guards, and all of them were armored and brought all the short soldiers and crossbows.

There were 100 dragon guards who came to Jinling this time, and these defense forces alone were definitely insufficient, so the emperor also sent 1,500 soldiers from the standard-bearer guard.

As one of the 22 guards of Shangzhi, the main responsibility of the flag bearer guard is the honor guard and guard when the emperor travels.

Most of the time, the emperor stayed in the imperial city, resulting in the flag guard being rarely used, and this business trip to Jinling was even more rare.

It's just that of the 1,500 soldiers, 1,000 followed Zhu Jingyuan to the front line, and only 500 remained in the palace.

This trip brought 300 people, and the team was extremely spectacular.

When he came to Jinling Qianhu, Zhu Jinghong got off the sedan chair and walked out, only to see a kneeling outside the gate of Qianhu, and all the people in the yamen who could come came.

"See the Thirteenth Master!"

"Excuse me!"

Zhu Jinghong didn't want to waste time, so he went straight to the Qianhu Office, and Li Wenzhao and the others immediately followed.

"Show me all the people and things you find!"

"The prisoners are all locked in the cell, and the stolen goods are all in the treasury, which one will the thirteenth master look at first?" Li Wenzhao asked respectfully.

"Let's go to the storeroom first!"

"Thirteenth Master, please!"

Li Wenzhao personally led the way, and Zhu Jinghong entered two doors in a row and came to a small courtyard.

The treasury of the Jinling Thousand Households Office stored all kinds of weapons and armor, archives and physical evidence, and was specially guarded by a small flag officer.

On weekdays, if you want to go in here to get something, you have to sign it from a thousand-level official, but at this moment, the door is open.

Li Wenzhao and two deputy Qianhu led Zhu Jinghong to the left and right respectively, and took him outside a room.

"Thirteenth Master, there is a smell in it, and the minister asked people to move things out!"

"Hmm!"

Zhu Jinghong is not afraid of the smell, but he is afraid that there are "inconvenient" things in it to look at, and forcing it in will make everyone embarrassed.

Immediately, a lieutenant brought a chair, and Zhu Jinghong sat on the steps, watching the lieutenants move things out.

"Thirteenth Master, these are the scriptures they read, and the minister read them carefully...... It's a little different from the original! Li Wenzhao explained.

There are really a lot of so-called scriptures, and two stacks have been moved out in a row, and it is roughly estimated that there are at least hundreds.

Li Wenzhao continued: "Those White Lotus Sect disciples are using these scriptures to confuse the world, which is really hateful......

In addition to the scriptures, there are also some flags and even some ritual utensils.

Especially the latter, Zhu Jinghong was very curious, so he stepped forward to play with it himself.

"These things? What is it used for? ”

Li Wenzhao explained: "The ritual utensils made by the White Lotus Sect thieves themselves are used when they worship God, which is really ridiculous! ”

The nondescript description is very apt, even if Zhu Jinghong is not a professional, he can see that these things should be the evolution of musical instruments.

"Why is it like a musical instrument?"

Li Wenzhao couldn't understand this, so he could only speculate: "I think it's because there is music during the sacrifice, and the musical instrument will become a ritual instrument after a long time!" ”

How many years the White Lotus Sect has been inherited, no one can say clearly, but there are four or five hundred years, and it is normal to develop unique ritual vessels.

Picking up one of them, it can be seen that this is a pipa, Zhu Jinghong plucked the strings, but the sound was very deep and astringent, obviously this thing has not been adjusted.

The captains came up with more things one after another, and after listening to Li Wenzhao's detailed introduction, as well as the two deputy Qianhu supplementing from time to time, Zhu Jinghong understood how tightly organized this White Lotus Sect was.

has been plotted by these people for more than a month, just to kill himself, which is terrifying to think about.

"Did the oracle speak?"

Li Wenzhao replied: "I have already spoken, it is his confession that the White Lotus Sect is going to cause trouble in the capital!" ”

"Bring him to me!" Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Li Wenzhao glanced at the deputy Qianhu on the side, and the latter immediately turned around and took people away.

A key criminal like Wang Xianxiang is not something that anyone can bring up.

Sitting back on the chair, Zhu Jinghong looked at Li Wenzhao and asked, "I remember that this guy has a very hard mouth, why did he suddenly speak again?" ”

"Who has the ability to do this?"

Originally, Li Wenzhao wanted to take credit for himself, but Zhu Jinghong asked who had this ability, and he could only answer honestly: "It is a small flag official of the 100 households, called Chen Yuntai...... The Thirteenth Master has seen it before! ”

Zhu Jinghong nodded, that young man left a deep impression on him, he was really a capable person.

"It turned out to be him!"

Soon, Wang Xianxiang was brought over, his clothes were stained with blood, and he was escorted to kneel by the captains two feet away from Zhu Jinghong.

"As long as you are honest, I can spare your life, whether they say anything about it, I can call the shots!" Zhu Jinghong said slowly.

Wang Xianxiang slowly raised his head, and said with a dying breath: "Thirteenth Master, I have said everything that should be said, and they have all promised the grass people and promised to forgive the villain!" ”

In the past three days, he suffered inhuman torture, and almost nothing on his body was good, and finally he confessed because he couldn't bear it.

Regarding the White Lotus Sect's uprising in the capital, this news was Wang Xianxiang's confession and used it to change his life.

He held on to one ten-thousandth of hope, thinking that if he really confessed some dry goods, Jinyiwei would let him go, but Zhu Jinghong said this again.

In other words, the way of life that Jin Yiwei promised him before, whether true or not, has been overturned at this moment.

This made Wang Xianxiang angry, and these dog officials rebelled, and he wanted to hack them all to death.

"Now if I ask, you will answer!"

Seeing that Wang Xianxiang did not react, Li Wenzhao scolded: "Talk back! ”

"Yes!"

"When did the White Lotus Sect rise up in the capital?"

"It's supposed to be this year, but I don't know when!"

Zhu Jinghong asked again: "How are they going to get into trouble?" Could it be that he wants to assassinate the king? ”

"This matter is confidential, but it was agreed by the sect leader, and the villain doesn't know!"

Zhu Jinghong said coldly: "Your status in the White Lotus Sect is not low, I don't believe it if you don't know!" ”

Wang Xianxiang replied in a deep voice: "In the sect, under the Holy Maiden, there are left and right protectors, as well as the four heavenly kings, and then there are gods such as villains!" ”

In other words, although Wang Xianxiang has an extremely high status in the White Lotus Sect, he does not yet belong to the core power layer.

Zhu Jinghong asked again, "How can I catch your sect leader?" ”

"The true face of the sect leader, the villain has never seen it, and the place of discussion will be notified when it arrives, and there is no fixed location!"

"Now that the villain has been arrested, the sect already knows about it, and it will cut off all contacts!"

"Take it down!"

"Yes!" Li Wenzhao waved his hand.

After Wang Xianxiang was taken away, Li Wenzhao asked, "Thirteenth Master, do you really want to spare him?" ”

Zhu Jinghong stood up and said, "I don't think he has told the truth yet, find a way to squeeze some more news out, how to deal with it!" ”

"Got it!"

Zhu Jinghong walked down the steps, and Li Wenzhao immediately followed.

"This case is very important, you have to investigate it well, and the matter in the capital may have to bear your ......"

Stopping, Zhu Jinghong turned his head to look at Li Wenzhao and asked solemnly, "Do you understand?" ”

The affairs of the capital are on him, so he has to be transferred to the capital.

From Yingtian to the capital, it is definitely a high promotion for Li Wenzhao, and the opportunity is rare but not sought.

"The minister understands, and he still has to rely on the support of the Thirteenth Master!"

Zhu Jinghong said lightly: "You can't talk about it, you only have to do your errands beautifully, and my performance is easy to write!" ”

"There are some things that I can say to the saint!"

"Yes, the minister understands!"
