Blood from Daming

Chapter 130 Find the Difference
Just at this time, the gate of Guangqumen was slowly pushed open, and a group of officers and soldiers came out of the city gate and stood in two rows. hundreds of households.As soon as the city guards left the city gate, they saw Xue Yun coming up to say hello enthusiastically.

Hundreds of households guarding the city: "Brother misses me to death. I went to your mansion to meet your grandfather a few days ago to celebrate the New Year. I heard from his old man that you went to the south and did not see you."

Xue Yun: "Where do you dare to bother elder brother to visit in person? It's because brother is too busy to be polite. I am here to accompany elder brother."

Xue Yun thought that everyone in the Xue family, including the caravans who often went in and out of Guangqumen, wanted to make friends with this hundred households, so he ordered Wang Erwa to send a high-quality gift to that hundred households.

Baihu, who guarded the city, felt his hands sinking suddenly when he saw the satin package handed over by Wang Erwa. Baihu held the package in both hands and squeezed it lightly. Based on his years of experience in guarding and searching, he felt that there was something valuable, and he was very grateful to this brother. He is already a lieutenant general, but he still gives himself face like this.

Hundred households guarding the city: "Thank you brother, you should go back to the mansion, you little ones, make way for my brother." The hundred households shouted at the guarding soldiers to let Xue Yun and the others enter the city.

Just as Xue Yun drove the Oolong horse to the start, the seventh-rank inspector next to him suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xue Yun's Oolong horse by the muzzle and shouted: "Master Wu, you falsely spread imperial decrees to deceive the king, and even colluded with the city guards!" Go in and out of the important places in the capital at will and wait for the court to punish you."

Xue Yun was taken aback by the seventh-rank official who suddenly jumped in front of him. Xue Yun stabilized his body immediately before speaking: "This lord, this general, indeed has important news to report to the emperor. Why are you stopping me like this?" What do you mean?"

Seventh-rank official: "Why stop you? Just because you brought so many Ming officials into the imperial city, you will be punished for the crime of arrogance and domineering."

Xue Yun was also a little annoyed when he met a top official who looked down on warriors: "What on earth are you trying to do?"

Seventh-rank official: "I want you to come with me to the Meridian Gate and wait for the court to punish you."

The officials and wealthy merchants in the city gate didn't dare to come forward to help Xue Yun when they saw Xue Yun's numerous troops and fierce appearance. Only a hundred households guarding the city came to comfort him, but the seventh-rank official pushed him back.

Xue Yun: "My lord, I don't have any hatred with you. If you stop the people behind you, you won't be able to enter the city. Why don't you go first?"

Seventh-rank official: "Now it's not a question of who leaves first, but you have to go to the Meridian Gate to plead guilty."

Xue Yun suddenly became impatient: "I have an urgent military situation. The White Lotus Sect invaded Zhili and Shandong. If you continue to prevent me from going to Beijing to give a memorial service, will you be liable for delaying important military affairs?"

The seventh-rank official was stunned for a moment: "It's wishful thinking for you to make up any reason to fool me." Instead, he tightened the horse's mouth.

Xue Yun pointed impatiently at the seventh-rank official with the whip in his hand, and immediately two personal soldiers went up to pull the official, but the official held on to the horse's muzzle and did not let go. The horse moved two steps, Xue Yun knew that he couldn't get along well with the official Zhuge, so he grabbed the official's right hand and exerted his internal force suddenly, which shocked the opponent's whole body to numb and sealed his acupoints, and threw it to the soldiers behind to catch him live.

Xue Yun looked around at the officers and soldiers guarding the city in a daze, as well as the officials and civilians entering the city, and said, "Everyone saw that this man in official uniform was suspected of preventing the general from capturing the bandits of the White Lotus Cult.

After saying goodbye to the hundreds of households guarding the city, he swaggered into the city gate of Guangqumen.The officers and civilians guarding the city gate and entering the city were stunned. How dare the military officer of the court arrest a civil servant just like that.

Xue Yun entered Guangqumen and knew that he had captured the military officer, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to see the factory owner Wei Zhongxian. Passing by the Xue Mansion, Xue Yun called Lu Yaojin and asked him to hand over the white lotus bandit Ma Dashan to Wang Erwa.

Lu Yaojin and Mao Laoyao accompanied Mistress Wu Hui and dozens of pack horses to Xiaoxue's mansion to rest first, and then returned to Xiaoxue's mansion after going to the inner city of the palace to finish their errands.

Xue Yun took more than 50 personal soldiers including Wang Erwa and ran towards Dongchang, escorting Ma Dashan, the seventh-rank civil servants, and the gift for Wei Zhongxian, the father of Dongchang.

When Xue Yun arrived at the location of the East Factory, he immediately sent money to the stewards on duty in the East Factory. The stewards respected Xue Yun as a Dharma protector, and now they got the benefits of Xue Yun. Of course, they quickly passed the sign inside. Today, Eunuch Wei happened to be on duty in the East Factory for a while, so it was reported that Xue Yun had gone in.

Xue Yun entered Wei Gonggong's secret room and took the initiative to untie his saber to the Dongchang guards next to him, but this time Wei Zhongxian's guards did not go forward to search and put Xue Yunliang there.

Only then did Eunuch Wei say: "Guardian Xue is a family, so these red tapes can be avoided. Come and talk."

Xue Yun slowly stepped forward, took out two letters from his pocket, and handed them to the little eunuch in front of Eunuch Wei. The little eunuch quickly forwarded the two letters from Xue Yun to Eunuch Wei, and Wei Zhongxian opened one on his face. Check out the online gift list: 2000 taels of gold, a box of Hepu pearls, and two boxes of gold and silver wares.

Wei Zhongxian is very satisfied with Xue Yun and estimates that the tribute to him this time will not be less than 10 taels of silver. Although Wei Zhongxian is not very pursuing money now, but the people below show their loyalty to him. What is the best way to show sincerity is of course silver. The most worthless loyalty in this world is free spiel, and the most valuable loyalty is gold and silver treasures. Don't you ask your subordinates to dig out their hearts to you to show their loyalty?

Wei Zhongxian took out the letterhead from the second envelope to read, straightened up immediately and read it carefully, and repeated reading for Xue Yun: "Xue Hufa, the Zhili, Shandong White Lotus Sect, and thieves are rampant in your letter, openly besieging the Ming government army, Do you have any definite evidence?"

Xue Yun: "Mr. Factory, the White Lotus Sect is related to the fate of the imperial court. Without solid evidence, the subordinates would never dare to report it indiscriminately. Now the first criminal, Ma Dashan, has arrived, and the other criminals are still on the road under the escort of Xu Zhifu, Dongchang Prefecture, Shandong Province. They will arrive in the capital in a few days."

Afterwards, Xue Yun presented the main evidence and confession of the White Lotus Sect, and by the way, mentioned to Wei Zhongxian that the seventh-rank officials prevented him from escorting the White Lotus Sect disciples.

Wei Zhongxian looked at the Buddha statues, books, letters, and tokens brought by the little eunuch and knew that the matter was true: "Xue Hufa has made great contributions to the emperor and Dongchang. The soldiers are plundering Zhili and Shandong, embracing their own self-esteem as a rebellion, and they are asking for orders to arrest you, Protector Xue."

Xue Yun: "My subordinates got a secret report from their good friend Xu Zhifu in the countryside that the thieves who besieged the Ming army in the Beijing camp near Cangzhou were actually Bailian sect bandits, so they hurried over to help arrest the Bailian sect disciples."

Wei Zhongxian: "The Ming army who went to besiege the White Lotus Sect is the general of the Xue family."

Xue Yun quickly made a distressed image: "Father-in-law, this subordinate is really selfish in risking being impeached by civil officials this time, please re-issue the subordinate." Xue Yun had no choice but to kneel down with grievances.

Wei Zhongxian: "Our family doesn't care what other people say, but our family just likes a bloody man like Xue Hufa. Our subordinates all abandon it and don't care who will work for you in the future. This matter is over."

Xue Yun: "Thank you, father-in-law, for not blaming the narrow-mindedness of your subordinates."

Wei Zhongxian: "If Xue Hufa doesn't even care about his relatives and subordinates, our family may not dare to order Xue Hufa. This time your father is lucky and you saved him again."

Xue Yun: "Eunuch, my father is too gentle, but he still admires you very much, Eunuch."

Eunuch Wei: "You little bastard, just pick up what our family likes to hear. Forget it, let's try our best to settle it for you. With the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, let's see what those civil servants say about you. Protector Xue, call that prefect Xu People sent directly to Dongchang.”

Xue Yun: "Eunuch, only when the criminals escorted by the prefect Xu arrive in the capital, the subordinates immediately send the criminals to Eunuch."

After Xue Yun bid farewell to Wei Zhongxian and left Dongchang, he hurried back to Xiaoxue's mansion.

Eunuch Wei promised Xue Yun that after the Bailian sect criminals were handed over to Dongchang, Da Nei issued an edict to Xue Yun to go back to Datong without seeing the palace, and promised Xue Yun a batch of weapons, gunpowder, and equipment to go to the Armament Bureau, The gunpowder bureau and the military battle bureau received it. The funniest thing is that Eunuch Wei ordered his subordinates to lock up the seventh-rank official with Ma Dashan to interrogate and humiliate the civil official.

Xue Yun returned to Xiao Xue's mansion and immediately jumped off the horse and went directly to the gate. Lu Yaojin, who was waiting in front of him, hurriedly took the reins of the Oolong horse, and Wang Erwa, who was half a step too slow, had nothing to do and hurriedly followed Xue Yun. Cloud ran to the yard.Xue Yun came to the living room of the inner house in the backyard, Yan Sanniang, Miss Chen, and Ni Hongshuang were sitting there, but they didn't see Wu Hui.

When Yan Sanniang saw Xue Yun coming back, she immediately got up to greet her. Xue Yun looked at Yan Sanniang's body and asked, "Sanniang, how do you feel about your recovery now?"

Yan Sanniang: "Thank you for your concern, my husband, I feel that I have almost recovered, and there is still a lot of progress in martial arts."
