dream of red mansion

Chapter 330 Wu Qi died?

In this way, the matter of splitting the helm is basically an agreement, leaving only the last one.

"With regard to the family business of the White Lotus Sect in the south of the Yangtze River, what do the two adults care about?"

Zhan Min asked cautiously.

Jia Qing said casually: "These things are the most troublesome, and they can be left to the idlers in the local government."

Zhan Min's face tightened.It was still Feng Tang who knew the way, and said with a smile: "The White Lotus Sect has developed for decades, and the foundation is not cheap. If it is handed over to the local governments, they will move slowly, and they may let the remnants of the White Lotus Sect smuggle away how many people.

It would be more appropriate to leave this matter to Mr. Zhan's brocade army. "

Zhan Min also immediately said: "General Feng's words are true. Now the subordinates under Xiaguan have controlled the entire Yangzhou. Give Xiaguan three days to complete the investigation of all the properties of the White Lotus Sect and report them to the treasury."

It was only then that Jia Qing came to his senses.That's right, if they put in so much effort, how can the benefits obtained be handed over to those people in the yamen to enjoy?
"That's fine." Jia Qing also smiled.

"There is another matter that I want to discuss with the two adults. The White Camel Mountain has been repaired by the White Lotus Sect for decades, and the scale is not small. It seems a pity to destroy it like this.

It is not easy to sell such a large property after it is taken over by the government.

It happened that the Huaiyang Qianhu House under the jurisdiction of Fusi in Nanzhen Township of Xiaguan fell into disrepair for a long time, and Xiaguan wanted to move it to Baituo Mountain. I wonder what the two adults would like? "

Jia Qing said with a smile: "It's up to you to report this kind of thing to your commander, why bother to ask us."

Feng Tang also smiled and said: "I have no opinion on this matter. It is a pity to ruin it. If it is not appropriate to keep it, it will develop into a thousand households of Jinyi Army, and it will be the best of both worlds."

Once the matter was settled, Zhan Min couldn't help but resign and go to work.

Looking at his hasty footsteps, Jia Qing said to Feng Tang: "Master Zhan is really full of energy, he didn't rest all night yesterday, and now he is still so vigorous and vigorous!"

Feng Tang smiled and said: "By the way, now that the White Lotus Sect has been exterminated, General Jia must not forget to give the emperor a memorial."

Jia Qing said: "Thank you, General Feng, for reminding me." Immediately, Jia Qing stared at Feng Tang twice.

Feng Tang asked: "Is there anything wrong?"

Jia Qing frowned and said, "The old general seems to be on an errand during this trip."

Feng Tang laughed and said, "Where did General Jia say that?"

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.
