dream of red mansion

Jia Qing shook his head.

First of all, it was about Lin Ruhai pretending to be sick.It is impossible for the emperor not to know. From this point of view, the reason why he went to the south of the Yangtze River was entirely a play sung by the emperor and Lin Ruhai.

Second, Feng Tang was too tolerant of the White Lotus Sect. Jia Qing could do whatever he wanted with him, except that he had arrested a few leaders of the White Lotus Sect.

This goal can also be achieved by commanding the Jinyi Army.Why must it be tied up with Lin Ruhai's matter?

Combined with what Lin Ruhai said about the collusion between the salt merchants and the courtiers, and the collusion between the White Lotus Sect and the salt merchants, Jia Qing had some guesses.

But since Feng Tang didn't intend to tell him, he just happened not to get involved.

Sometimes, running an imperial errand is not necessarily a good thing.

"Report to the imperial envoy, and Wang Shun asks to see you."

"Let him in."

Then Wang Shun entered the house.After saluting Jia Qing and Feng Tang, he walked up to Jia Qing and whispered, "Wu Qi is dead."

"What?" Jia Qing stood up immediately.

Wang Shun said with a bitter face, "It's true, I've seen it myself."

Feng Tang saw it and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jia Qing said: "Wu Qi is dead."

Feng Tang is speechless, why are you surprised that Wu Qi died?He was already poisoned, and he only told Jia Qing about this last night.

Jia Qing ordered: "Let's go and have a look. Is Old General Feng going?"

Feng Tang thought for a while and said: "Forget it, the old man will not go. The old man will go back to the government office first, and interrogate Baichi and others."

Jia Qing was not reluctant, and said to Wang Shun: "Send the old general."

……

In the courtyard where Wu Qi was imprisoned, Jia Qing was shocked when he saw Wu Qi, whose lips and eyes were darkened, his complexion was pale, and there was no trace of life in his body.

Is this guy really dead now?

Stretching out his hand to sniff, Jia Qing deepened his doubts...

After staring at Wu Qi's face for a long time, Jia Qing still didn't see any flaws in pretending to be dead. Jia Qing couldn't help but regret proposing this plan.If Wu Qi really died here, Wu Xian'er might be a little hard to explain.

Alas, there is no way, even if she dies, the body must be transported out to her.

"Ma Jun, go buy a coffin, then take him to a mass grave outside the city and bury him."

"Yes."

……

In the city of Yangzhou, as the generals of the Jinyi Army rushed towards the properties of the White Lotus Sect everywhere, the news that the White Lotus Sect, which had dominated the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, was wiped out was not only transmitted among the upper echelons.

There is an inn opposite the Zuiyuan Building, the most famous restaurant in Yangzhou, called Laifu Inn.

In the past, although the business of Laifu Inn was not as good as that of Zuiyuan Building, it was still very popular, and it had always been in competition with Zuiyuan Building.

Today, it is surprisingly strange.The entire Laifu Inn is empty in front of the door.

In the entire inn, there was not even a waiter, let alone the shopkeeper.

Some people had just walked in, and when they saw this abnormal scene, they all hurriedly withdrew, and then sat on the Zuiyuan upstairs to watch what happened.

"Tart tart tart..."

"Step aside...!"

Suddenly, twenty or thirty Jinyi military captains wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives appeared on the street, and rushed directly to the Laifu Inn, immediately surrounding the magnificent three-story inn.

Then the leading general led people to break into the room, and drove the few overnight guests who didn't know the situation because they were sleeping late into the hall and squatted down.

Shouts and complaints arose everywhere.

On the second floor of Zuiyuan Building opposite, a scholar asked a businessman at the next table: "Dare to ask, brother, is this opposite?"

Seeing a scholar asking him a question, the man wanted to show off and said, "You are not from the local area, are you?"

"Exactly, Xiaosheng from Shandong came here to study. I don't know what crime the Laifu Inn across the street committed?"

"That's not surprising, you don't know, this inn is an industry under the name of the White Lotus Sect, and I don't know how much wealth has been collected for the White Lotus Sect over the years!

Hmph, now that the White Lotus Sect has been wiped out by the Imperial Envoy, this industry will naturally be brought into the government.

These Jinyi soldiers should have come to arrest the suspects.Just looking at this posture, I am afraid that it is mainly responsible for sealing up the inn and intercepting money from it, hehe. "

The White Lotus Sect is famous, this scholar has heard about it from history books, but he has never met it.When I heard that there is actually a White Lotus sect here, I was shocked.

"How dare such a cult heretic open such a large inn in Yangzhou City?"

The merchant glanced at him and said, "What is this? Where does the White Lotus Sect have no industry in the six provinces of the south of the Yangtze River? Even in the entire territory of Great Chu, I dare not say more. At least in every province, they have a foundation. It's just how much!"

Hearing what he said, the scholar realized that he might be ignorant, so he put away his surprise.

Immediately, he felt that he could not be underestimated by the other party, so he expressed his feelings: "No matter what, a cult is just a cult! What you know is just a means to fool the ignorant people, after all, it is a fool who can't stand on the stage!

When the imperial court ignored it, it was still able to live on. Once it was no longer tolerated, it could be wiped out at any time, like a chicken and a dog! "

He belittled the White Lotus Sect here, but he didn't know that a person in the corner had already heard it and was furious.As soon as he uttered the words "earth chicken tile dog", he immediately reached out to grab the saber that was lying on the table.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Sitting in the corner of the Zuiyuan building were two plainly dressed women, one of whom was about to attack with anger after hearing what the scholar said.

He was held back by the woman next to him: "Don't be impulsive, don't forget our purpose!"

The woman immediately sat down discouraged, and then asked: "Sister Fu, you really decided to find that bad official? He is the chief culprit who caused our White Lotus Sect to be exterminated! Also, how do you know that he is willing to help us? "

The woman surnamed Fu was silent for a while, and said: "I don't know, but I don't think he is a treacherous person, so I have to give it a try now.

If he really looks the same and can help us save people, then that's all.Otherwise..."

The woman continued: "We will kill him!"

......

"What do you want him for?"
