King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 229
Li Wenzhao also understood the key, so he was very excited at this moment, and his waist straightened a lot.

He was transferred from other provinces to the Nancheng Thousand Households Office. When he arrived at the Yamen, he was unfamiliar with the place and he had no kindness to the hundreds of households under him, so the only one he could use was Chen Yuntai.

After several months of management, he finally persuaded a few hundred households under his command to do business for him honestly.

But after what happened today, Li Wenzhao knows that his position will be more stable in the future, and his subordinates will be more obedient when they know his background.

After some courtesies with his superiors and colleagues, Li Wenzhao returned to his office, where he had his own courtroom as Deputy Qianhu.

"Tell Chen Yuntai to come!"

"Yes!"

Chen Yuntai was already the General Banner of the Seventh Rank, and he was in charge of thirty or so famous captains. He was Li Wenzhao's absolute confidant, and he would be assigned any important errands.

After a few minutes, Chen Yuntai in official uniform appeared in the lobby.

"Humble Chen Yuntai, see Lord Qianhu!"

Looking at the extremely respectful Chen Yuntai, Li Wenzhao said kindly, "Excuse me, I have something for you!"

"Please tell me, my lord!"

Chen Yuntai answered very confidently, because he is indeed very capable.

"The Thirteenth Lord was assassinated today, and the guards have arrested him. He may be a rebel from the White Lotus Sect. He has been sent to the prison...you have to torture him!"

Hearing this, how could Chen Yuntai dare to be negligent, and he replied very solemnly: "I understand!"

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Li Wenzhao say, "The few hundred households are not our own. You should pay more attention to the matter of the traitors of the White Lotus Sect!"

Although he had persuaded a few hundred households under his command to let these people obey orders, but there were many factions in Jinyiwei and deep waters, so Li Wenzhao could not trust these people.

"My lord, don't worry, I will always pay attention to it!"

Nodding his head, Li Wenzhao said again: "Until now, the White Lotus Sect has not even made an envoy. You said... Did we miss something?"

"This... is extremely possible!"

Speaking of this, Chen Yuntai continued to express his opinion: "When we were in Jinling, the White Lotus Sect attacked and killed the Thirteenth Lord, and the envoy personally commanded them. They wanted to start an incident in the capital..."

"I think that at least there must be a heavenly king in charge, and no matter how bad it is, it should be dispatched by a divine envoy!"

"Now there are only two incense masters exposed, which is really not normal... I think I can dig deeper!"

From the analysis of the case, Chen Yuntai can be said to be eloquent, as if he was born to do this.

I saw Li Wenzhao worried: "It's natural to dig deep, but now that the Holy Birthday is approaching, I'm afraid that these thieves will cause trouble, and then the board will hit us!"

"My lord, Dongchang is also secretly investigating this matter in the imperial city, and it has almost gone through it now, and the city will be strictly guarded during the Shengshou Festival, so it seems that nothing will happen!"

As long as the imperial city is safe, the interior of the capital is safe, and the White Lotus Sect can't make a fuss, everyone's official status can be kept.

In fact, regarding the possible "rebellion" of the White Lotus Sect, Jin Yiwei had informed Wucheng Bingma Division and Huangcheng Yiwei Division that the two yamen were already alert to this and would try their best to plug the loophole.

Picking up the teacup, Li Wenzhao sighed and said, "I hope!"

As the deputy of Jin Yiwei, Qianhuhui was worried, and there were also people outside the gate of Nancheng Qianhu Office who were deeply worried.

This person has a scar on his face, he is the boss of the two gangsters who were arrested, and he just heard the news and rushed over.

They are such bastards that they don't even dare to mess with the officials of the county government office, so how dare they show up at the Jinyiwei Yamen at this moment.

"Did you really get caught?" Scarface asked in a deep voice.

He also just rushed over and didn't know anything about the situation, so he asked this question at this moment.

The man on the side replied: "Yes, brother, I'll just go buy a few buns, and when I come back, I see them being taken down!"

"What did they do?" Scarface then asked.

"I heard from others that it was the two of them who were cheap. They stabbed the horse of the Qin family with a nail. The horse was frightened and ran into the nobleman, and then was taken down by the officers and soldiers!"

Hearing this, Dao Scar's face became even more ugly, and he wished he could chop up these two bastards and feed them to the dogs.

It doesn't matter if these two bastards are dead, but if they enter Jin Yiwei's prison, they will reveal everything, and it will only implicate them.

"Brother, you have to think of a way, if you are bitten by Jin Yiwei, the brothers will be finished!"

Although they are hooligans, most of them have families, so they are naturally very worried about this.

The same goes for Scarface. Not only does he have a wife and children, but he also raises a house of women outside. He doesn't want to end such a beautiful life.

After gesturing to his subordinates to shut up, Scarface pondered, before he said: "I have to go to Master Zhang!"

The Master Zhang he was talking about was Zhang Kui, who was the one who asked the Qin family to find them last time, and they could be regarded as acquaintances.

At this time, someone under Scarface said hesitantly: "Although Master Zhang has some tricks, I'm afraid he can't reach Jin Yiwei!"

"Hmph, you're oversimplifying him, this Master Zhang... has something to do with Prince Rui's residence!" Scarface said meaningfully.

He is not as stupid as he appears on the surface, so after secretly following Zhang Kui, he found out that this guy often goes in and out of Prince Rui's residence.

It was precisely because he knew that the other party had this kind of connection that Scarface was so bold that he dared to listen to Zhang Kui's words and went to the Qin family to make trouble, and even beat Qin Ye, the court official.

Scarface said: "For the sake of our brother's life, we can only ask him this time!"

If you don't ask Zhang Kui, it will be easy to find them when Jinyi Wei follows the vines, and they and their families will suffer.

Of course, they could also escape before Jin Yiwei finds out, but no one is willing to give up everything and face the unknown escape route.

When Scarface and others struggled to save themselves, Zhu Jinghong had already put on the armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed all over his body, and he was playing vigorously in the courtyard with a steel knife in his hand.

Such heavy armor felt like nothing on his body, and there was a crisp sound of armor plates colliding when he moved.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Jingyuan was extremely envious, and secretly thought that it would be great if he had such a body.

Of course, compared with the weak prince, Zhu Jingyuan felt very satisfied, at least he was much stronger than ordinary people.

Zhu Jingyuan was watching quietly, but at this moment another young eunuch came over, and it was the concubine Chen Zhi who ordered someone to pass on the message.

After hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan greeted loudly: "Thirteenth brother, take a break... This thing is already yours, take it back and play with it as you like!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong really listened, and folded Tie Zhou's neck guard at the same time.

"Brother Six, this thing of yours is really good, it's a good thing that can really go on the battlefield!"

Zhu Jinghong gave a very high evaluation. The armor worn on the body today has the best defense effect in the world.

Compared with the one given by the crown prince, the armor Zhu Jingyuan built for him is several times stronger in defense.

Of course, it's not that the armor given by the prince is weak, it's just that the armor in front of him is so strong that ordinary people can't control it at all.

At this time, Zhu Jinghong's praise made Zhu Jingyuan feel very comfortable. He secretly rejoiced that he had delivered the right things this time, and presumably he had already won the heart of the thirteenth brother.

Taking off the iron helmet, under the service of a group of eunuchs, Zhu Jinghong was stripped of the outer armor, and then the inner chain armor was removed.

After Zhu Jinghong took off his armor, Zhu Jingyuan went up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Thirteen brothers, let's drink tea!"

Originally, Zhu Jinghong wanted to take the things and leave, but the so-called taking advantage of people's short hands and eating people's soft mouths, now that Zhu Jingyuan is so kind to invite him, it is difficult for him to refuse.

"Sixth brother, please!"
