Mingshi

Chapter 1333 Lost
People who don't know these things still live a leisurely life, such as ordinary people, such as businessmen, such as those scholars who came to visit Luo Xin.

Luo Xin has booked the largest inn in Hangzhou, and all future visitors will be arranged to live in that inn, and Luo Xin will be responsible for all board and lodging.This made those scholastics praise Luo Hsin's benevolence and righteousness.However, Luo Xin was forced to do nothing. He had concluded that the people of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan would definitely take these scholars as targets. If they could kill some scholars, it would cause a sensation and even It is better than killing the merchants of the vassal state.

If these scholars are allowed to live freely, Luo Xin has no way to protect them, so Luo Xin has no choice but to gather these people together, and then secretly send Wang Cuiqiao's martial arts masters to protect them.There are even martial arts masters living in this inn as scholars.

The White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan are already preparing to make a big fuss, and Luo Xin is also preparing to catch all these people in one go. Both sides feel that they are fishermen and the other is a fish.

Although the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan were nervous, they were not afraid, and there was excitement in their hearts.Because they have no idea that they are under surveillance and can be wiped out at any time.Instead, I feel that the government is still as relaxed as before.In this state, they thought that if they started an incident, it would cause a huge shock to the entire southern officialdom. I am afraid that at that time, both Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian would be implicated.If the imperial court can dismiss Hu Zongxian because of this uprising, because it is not good for Hu Zongxian to suppress the bandits, the suffering of their Bailian Sect and Zhang Daoyuan will be over. They are being pushed too hard by Hu Zongxian now.

Of course, if Hu Zongxian had not been dismissed, Luo Xin would have been fine.Without Luo Xin, if any official came to the south, I am afraid that he would not support Hu Zongxian so much. They know the officials in Ming Dynasty very well, and they can support Hu Zongxian like Luo Xin. No, it can only be said that Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian have a very good personal relationship.

However, as long as Luo Xin is dismissed, Hu Zongxian will have no support, and Hu Zongxian without food and grass will not be able to exert his power at all.

They seem to have seen the dawn of victory.

Originally, Luo Xin should be relaxed. After all, most of the people from the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan were under his surveillance, and he just waited for them to gather together and catch them all in one go, lest any fish slip through the net.

However, Luo Xin was extremely nervous at this time, because until now, no matter whether it was Jin Yiwei or Wang Cuiqiao's people, no one from the White Lotus Sect or Zhang Daoyuan had been found in Hangzhou.

However, Hangzhou is really too important.

Here is the Shibo Department, which is the largest distribution center for foreigners in Ming Dynasty, and now people from all directions of Ming Dynasty gather here to visit Luo Xin.

If the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan suddenly attacked and killed a large number of foreigners, it would not only seriously affect the future operations of the Shibo Division, but it would also hurt Daming's face.

What do people in Daming care most about?
face!

If such a thing really happened, Luo Xin would not even think about being an official, and he didn't know if he could keep his head.

If the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan kill a large number of scholars...

Luo Xin couldn't even imagine it!
At this time, he couldn't help complaining about Zheng Ruozeng. At this time, what are you promoting?

Isn't this adding to the chaos?

However, the matter has already happened, and I also agreed to it at the beginning, so this matter must be resolved by myself, instead of blaming Zheng Ruozeng.

"Check, check with all your strength!"

Luo Xin gave Jin Yiwei and Wang Cuiqiao a death order.

The surface of Hangzhou City is calm and calm, but in the dark there are turbulent waves.

Another three days passed, and the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan still had no incident, but what Jin Yiwei and Wang Cuiqiao knew was that people from the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan continued to gather, and the number was increasing.

However, the rebels in Hangzhou still haven't found any trace.

"It seems that Hangzhou should be a lair of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, it is well hidden!"

In other southern state capitals, Luo Xin was very active, because those people from the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan were under Luo Xin's control. Only in Hangzhou, Luo Xin was very passive, and he could only defend passively.

Fortunately, those scholars were gathered in an inn, and those scholars, Luo Xin, were also handed over to Wang Cuiqiao for protection. Relatively speaking, these scholars were much more important than foreigners, and Wang Cuiqiao's men , stronger than Jin Yiwei.

And those foreigners also live in a guild hall. This guild hall was established when Luo Xin was still serving as the magistrate of Hangzhou and the governor of the city. It was originally for the convenience of managing foreigners, so he came to the vassal state of Ming Dynasty Merchants must live in the Guild Hall.Luo Xin handed over the guild hall to Jin Yiwei for protection.

Luo Xin didn't wait for the surprise attack from the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, but he waited for even worse news.

Hu Zongxian is in a coma!

Luo Xin held the letter in his hand, his face was clouded.

This is a letter written by Hu Zongxian's deputy general to Luo Xin. Hu Zongxian divided his troops into two groups, encircling and suppressing the White Lotus Sect in Guangdong and attacking Zhang Daoyuan in the west.

Hu Zongxian has fought wars for many years, and his subordinates are also masters of tigers and wolves. He has won every victory, and pushed the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan to the deep mountains and old forests.

At this time, Hu Zongxian didn't pay attention to the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan at all.In fact, Hu Zongxian never put the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan in his eyes. From the beginning of the crusade against the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, Hu Zongxian has been destroying all the way.The rabble like the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan are not Hu Zongxian's opponents at all.

These people may have strong individual strength, but they have never experienced organized and disciplined battles, and have never received real military training. How could they be Hu Zongxian's opponents?
Therefore, when the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan retreated into the deep mountains and forests one after another, Hu Zongxian did not take them seriously, and commanded the army directly into the deep mountains and old forests, preparing to complete their meritorious service and wipe out the last forces of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan. Capture Master Bailian and Zhang Daoyuan.

In the first half month, the people of Bailian Sect and Zhang Daoyuan fled all the way to the depths of the deep mountains and old forests, and they seemed to be not very familiar with the deep mountains and old forests. Many times, they were spotted by Hu Zongxian's army and fled in embarrassment. Many people died.This made Hu Zongxian and the officers and soldiers under him more confident, and accelerated the pursuit of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, so that it went deeper and the battle line was stretched longer.

but……

At this time, the members of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan disappeared, and Hu Zongxian and the others never found traces of the White Lotus Sect, Zhang Daoyuan and others. It seemed that these people disappeared into this deep mountain and old forest overnight.
