high official

Chapter 871 Trading
For a moment, the courtyard was full of commotion, Wang Xian covered his nose slightly, and stopped talking, he was patiently waiting for someone to collapse!

Sure enough, after a while, a craftsman in his 40s suddenly stood up, pointed at a man in his 30s in front of him and said, "He is the White Lotus Sect! My lord, what they do has nothing to do with us!"

The complexion of the man in his 30s changed, and he was about to get up and run away, but was held down by the craftsmen around him!Although everyone has a good relationship on weekdays, but at this time, no one will hesitate...

"He is also a member of the White Lotus Sect!"

"He's still the incense master of the White Lotus Sect!"

Someone started, and the rest followed suit, pointing out twenty or thirty White Lotus disciples one after another, and capturing them with their own hands!

While struggling, those believers cursed angrily: "Bastard! We are for you! For the poor people!"

"Shut up!" The craftsmen were furious, and while beating the Bailian disciples, they cursed: "It's almost as good as killing us!" After finishing speaking, they turned around and said to Jin Yiwei with a humble face: "My lord, they did it all!" Yes, it has nothing to do with us..."

When I went to see Wang Xian again, he had already left here...

.

The main hall of Fusi in Beizhen is still brightly lit late at night.Wang Xian paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and his subordinates came in from time to time to report the progress of the case to him.The homes of those members of the White Lotus Sect have been raided, and it is true that shrines, scriptures and other objects of the White Lotus Sect have been copied from their homes.The interrogation is also going on at the same time. It is always difficult to pry the mouth of the White Lotus Cultist, so be patient.

At the third watch, Er Hei came in with a tired figure. Wang Xian poured him a cup of tea, and Er Hei drank it down in one gulp. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said, "Finally I have spoken..."

"Oh?" Wang Xian frowned slightly, listening to him continue.

"They do have a plan," the second **** said: "Although the planners and participants have already run away, these peripheral believers have also provided them with some cover. It probably started from the winter of last year... "

"The winter of the year before last..." In an instant, a thought popped into Wang Xian's mind. Brother Lin died in the autumn of the year before last...

"My lord," Erhei recalled Wang Xian's spirit, "They also confessed one thing—someone knows the whereabouts of some of the bricklayers!"

"Oh?" Wang Xian's expression lifted as expected.

"Most of the bricklayers went to Shandong, and some thought Shandong was too bitter, so they didn't follow." Er***.

"Then where are they?"

"I went to Yangzhou." The second lady said, "I went to build houses for those big salt merchants!"

"Immediately send the pictures of Huaying to Nanjing, and let Yang Rong take the person!" Wang Xian said decisively: "You also take the person there, and the criminal must be arrested and brought to justice!"

"Yes!" Erhei responded in a deep voice, and asked again: "The East Factory has been asking, how should I answer them?"

"Well," Wang Xian thought about it, then smiled, "Let's tell the truth most of the time."

"Then, what is the small part?" Erhei asked with a hippie smile.

"Let's just say that the Bailian disciples fled to Hetao," Wang Xian sighed softly, "Don't worry, they will believe it."

"Yes." Seeing that the adult was feeling sad about parting, Er Hei stopped being glib and left.

.

The East Factory Yamen is also brightly lit.

Zhao Ying's eyes were red with blood, and he looked at the confession he had concocted in the past few days.In the confession, it described in detail how those civil servants harbored grievances, how they conspired to burn down the three halls, and how they implemented them.It's only limited by the eunuchs' fantastic imagination, and the plot in the confession is unavoidable...For example, a certain few officials found twelve pairs of boys and girls, and asked the demon to do it, and the three halls were struck by lightning !For another example, a certain official secretly pasted a fire talisman in the secret place of the three main halls, and if he did it at that time, it would attract will-o'-the-wisps and burn down the three main halls!
Confessions like these made Zhao Ying want to vomit blood, but he could only suppress his nausea, and reluctantly picked out a less absurd one, and prepared to present it to the emperor the next day.At this moment, the subordinate who was ordered to contact Jin Yiwei came in and whispered in his ear.After hearing this, Zhao Ying's complexion changed for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth and tore the pile of confessions into pieces!
"Oh!" Ma De and the others felt distressed when they saw this, and hurried to pick up the scraps of paper on the ground, complaining: "What is the old ancestor doing? This is the confession we have worked so hard to ask!"

"Fake is fake!" Zhao Ying spat fiercely: "Compared with the real thing, it will reveal its original shape!" He glanced at the person who reported the letter and said, "Are you sure the criminal fled to Hetao?"

"Definitely. It is said that the Mongolian princess is going back to Hetao early tomorrow morning," the subordinate said firmly, "Why is she going back at this time? Isn't it to help her man arrest him!"

"En!" Zhao Ying thought for a while, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Send a fast horse and ride to Hetao, and we must catch the Mongolian princess before she goes back!"

"Yes!" The subordinates took orders in a deep voice.

.

Early the next morning, Wang Xian went out of the city to send Baoyin and Aheng back to Hetao.

Wang Xian hugged his daughter, and looked at Baoyin with guilt on his face: "I wanted to keep you in the capital, and our family had a good New Year, but something like this happened, and the New Year was not over, and you were worried about it." .”

"It's done!" Baoyin looked more free and easy than Wang Xian, smiled and waved his hands and said: "If you have this kind of heart, our mother and I will be satisfied." Looking at Gu Xiaolian beside him, he said: "Your little pity My sister takes care of you, so I don't worry anymore, go back quickly, there are a lot of things waiting for you..."

If it wasn't for Baoyin crying in his arms after returning home last night, Wang Xian would have doubted whether this Mongolian girl had herself in her heart.Of course the answer is yes, it's just that everyone has matured and learned to hide their emotions in front of others...

"Father," Ah Heng cried with his eyes red, and wiped away his tears, "Will you visit us?"

"Yes, I will!" Wang Xian nodded, and hooked Ah Heng again, the little girl was relieved and followed her mother into the car.

The carriage drove out slowly, and Wang Xian sent him off one way after another, and did not return until he was completely out of sight.

On the way back to Beijing, he was not in a good mood, Gu Xiaolian and Ling Xiao silently accompanied him.It wasn't until the gate of the capital that Wang Xian pulled himself together and smiled at the two girls, "I bet we'll be staying in Beijing for a while."

Gu Xiaolian smiled and said nothing, but Lingxiao asked crisply: "How do you know?"

"I just know." Wang Xian said with a smile.

"I hate it, it's a trick again!" Ling Xiao became angry, and was laughing and fussing when a Jin Yiwei flying cavalry came to report that the emperor ordered him to enter the palace immediately to meet him!
Wang Xian knew that he must have wasted a lot of time, so he rushed to the Forbidden City before he even had time to change his court clothes.

When Wang Xian came to the gate of the palace, he saw Zhao Ying waiting there.

"Uncle Zhongyong, our family has been waiting for you for a long time." Zhao Ying held Wang Xian's rein with a smile, and his attitude was unprecedentedly kind.

"Hmm." Wang Xian knew that he would be waiting here, but he still put on a surprised expression: "Didn't the emperor summon me?"

"Of course it was summoned by the emperor, who would dare to pass the imperial edict falsely?" Zhao Ying smiled, and made a gesture of asking: "I have something to do, I want to talk to Uncle first, let's talk about it as soon as we leave."

"Please." Wang Xian nodded, and the two secret agents entered the Meridian Gate.Passing through the Fengtian Gate, the shocking ruins of the three halls appeared in front of the two of them, and they couldn't avoid it!

"The white lotus demons who are killed these days!" Zhao Ying gritted his teeth and said, "Our family will definitely ask for an order to kill them all! To vent the hatred in the emperor's heart!"

"Ah, father-in-law!" Wang Xian pretended to be surprised: "What do you mean by this, you have already uploaded the case information? I want to wait until the real murderer is caught before reporting."

"Hehe," Zhao Ying blushed and said, "This is Uncle Zhongyong who can't understand the feelings of the emperor. The emperor is very worried, so of course he must report it in time. However, what I'm talking about is that our factory guards jointly cracked the case..." He said Glancing at Wang Xian, he said, "Uncle Zhongyong won't blame me for taking credit."

"Of course not." Wang Xian smiled. He deliberately left Beijing today to create this opportunity for Zhao Ying to 'grab credit'. Now it seems that the old eunuch did as expected!
The emperor said before that whoever solves the case first in Dongchang Jinyiwei will be the leader!Wang Xian didn't take this seriously.For 5000 years in China, it has always been that whoever is closer to the core has greater power!From this point of view, Dongchang has an innate advantage that Jinyiwei cannot surpass!Unless he, the governor, is willing to sacrifice himself, castrate himself, and enter the palace to serve the emperor, Jinyiwei will always be one floor away from Dongchang!It will never be possible to surpass Dongchang!

Wang Xianneng can think clearly, but Zhao Ying will definitely be fascinated by the authorities!Wang Xian knew Zhao Ying too well, and knew that the proud old eunuch would never allow Jin Yiwei to be above Dongchang, so he knew that the emperor's words were probably too much to do, and Zhao Ying would never take such a risk!

So early this morning, Zhao Ying rushed to report to the emperor, saying that Dongchang and Jin Yiwei had jointly solved the arson case of the three halls!As soon as Zhu Di heard that the three main halls were indeed set on fire, not some kind of fire from heaven, naturally Long Yan was very happy, so he asked for details!But this case was handled by Jin Yiwei from the beginning to the end, and Zhao Ying had neither evidence nor physical evidence, so naturally he didn't know what to ask, so he had to say that Wang Xian was in charge of the details, and asked the emperor to call him to inquire. .

If Wang Xian accused Dongchang of stealing credit in front of the emperor, Zhao Ying would not be able to bear it and walk away, so he waited here for Wang Xian, hoping that he would show his noble hand and let him go.But Eunuch Zhao has also become fine, knowing that he can't do without some blood.Gritting his teeth, he said, "Uncle is very loyal, and our family can't let you look down on me. Tell me, as long as our family can do it, uncle can mention it!"

"Hehe," Wang Xian smiled, "Elder-in-law is really open-minded, so I'll just say it straight, those petitioning officials, E-father-in-law will see if they can be released..."

"Well..." Zhao Ying's old face immediately wrinkled into a ball: "It's easy to talk about other things, but this one, our family can't be the master, it depends on the emperor's will!"

"Success, then just pretend I didn't say anything." Wang Xian ignored him and walked straight forward.After walking a few steps, Zhao Ying caught up and said with a bitter face, "Okay, I'll take care of it!"

"Deal." Wang Xian smiled, and just as he was speaking, he arrived at the Qianqing Gate.
