Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 431 Mutual Use

"The snow in Shandong is softer than that in the capital. However, it is colder than the capital today. It is so cold that my commander is not only feeling cold, but his heart is also trembling."

In an inn somewhere in Juye City, Luo Sigong stood by the window facing the street, looking at the snowy scene outside the window, and said leisurely with a slightly sad expression.

Why don't you freeze to death, old boy?

Tian Ergeng, who was sitting, glanced at Xu Xianchun beside him, then looked at Luo Sigong's back, cursing in his heart, it's so cold that you have to open the window, just blow the tea, if you don't get cold, who will? cold.

He was cursing like this in his heart, but Tian Ergen said on his lips: "The commander is really good at joking. I came to Juye here, but I didn't mean to hide it. In fact, I found out that the situation was special. You had left the capital at that time." , I didn’t expect that you are also coming from Shandong.”

When saying these words, Tian Ergeng showed a smile on his face.

"Yes."

Xu Xianchun followed closely and said: "If I knew that the commander sent you to Shandong, I would have sent Tiqi to report the situation."

"There is no need to mention these words again."

A cold light flashed across Luo Sigong's eyes, but when he turned around, he suppressed his displeasure and looked at Tian Ergen and Xu Xianchun, "We all serve as servants in the Jinyi Guard to share your Majesty's worries. I am the commander. I intentionally avoided it before because I wanted to explore the remnants of White Lotus."

When Luo Sigong said this, the two of them stood up. When they heard about the remnants of Bailian, the two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then showed expressions of surprise.

"It's actually the remnant of White Lotus?!"

Tian Ergen pretended to be shocked and said: "Commander, this is not a trivial matter. What I am waiting to investigate are the remnants of oral smuggling and the hidden stakes of the prisoners. Now that they are all gathered in Shandong, does this mean..."

Hearing what Tian Ergen said, Luo Sigong wanted to laugh. His intuition told him that the two of them secretly came to Shandong this time. They might have learned about his investigation from elsewhere. However, it was the first time that he heard about what they wanted to investigate. , and it was precisely this that made Luo Sigong stop laughing again.

"Listening to what you said, I'm afraid they are connected, but I don't know to what extent." Luo Sigong calmed down and said with a solemn expression: "Have you passed on what you have discovered to the Tianjin Garrison Admiral's Office?"

"Passed."

Tian Ergen nodded.

Although Tian Ergen knew that Luo Sigong wanted to use this matter as a test, he still had to say something. After all, they had to take advantage of this credit.

It seems that the emperor knew it beforehand.

Luo Sigong remained unchanged on the surface, but deep down he was secretly thinking, could it be someone from the Dongji Bureau who told them some of the information they found?

Previously, they followed Wei Zhongxian to Shanxi to investigate a case of extraoral smuggling.

Could it be that Wei Zhongxian wanted to take this opportunity to infiltrate his power into Jinyiwei?

Except for a few people who knew about the secretly organized Luan Guard, other groups did not know about it at all. The Luan Guard at the moment is like a shadow army. Some people may be aware of their existence, but there is no way to guess it. This is exactly what Zhu Youxiao wants!

"Explain everything you know to this commander one by one."

Under the gaze of the two of them, Luo Sigong pondered for a moment and frowned slightly: "The situation in Shandong is much more complicated than we expected. When you came to Yanzhou Prefecture, did you find that there were many trackers along the canal transport? "

"Found."

Xu Xianchun nodded.

"Then do you know that these trackers are from the Yanzhou Prefecture and were recruited from the Shandong Governor's Yamen without telling them?" Luo Sigong raised his brows slightly and looked at the two of them.

this! ! The two people who were still thinking about it were all surprised when they heard what Luo Sigong said. They really didn't know that they were conducting a private expedition without telling the governor's office.

This is against Ming law.

"And according to what this commander has found, a group of these trackers who were recruited are the remnants of the White Lotus!"

Luo Sigong continued: "They secretly spread the word about the association, and some resentful trackers have joined in. The reason why they are in Yanzhou Mansion is to pull fiber from Caoliang and Caoyin delivered to Beijing for this year's autumn grain. But until now, There are still a large amount of grain and silver that have not been transported to Beijing through water transport!!"

Although Luo Sigong knew in his heart that the two people in front of him were hiding their own plans deep in their hearts, the various situations that had been discovered now showed that the matter was more serious than he expected. If the two of them had not arrived in person this time, Luo Sigong would have even They don't even know about the smuggling of remnants and the establishment of prisoner traps.

"If this is the case, then His Majesty must know something."

When Tian Ergen heard this, he frowned slightly and said: "No wonder Cui Chengxiu leads the Integrity Council. He doesn't come early or late. He leaves Beijing for Shandong at this time. The investigation is still about the water transport case. Commander, can you please help with these situations?" Is it urgent to submit it to the capital?"

"It was urgently delivered to Beijing yesterday."

Luo Sigong said: "Along with it, there is an express delivery to Tianjin. Shandong cannot be chaotic, and chaos is not allowed. Once chaos occurs, the water transportation will inevitably be affected. If the water transportation dares to stop because of this, then all the remaining evil will be wiped out. Even if they are arrested, Jin Yiwei will not be able to escape severe punishment!!"

Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun agree with this.

What kind of meritorious service they make depends on the situation. If there is chaos in Shandong this time, and they conceal anything during the period, which leads to the collapse of the situation, then even if the case is solved, compared with the losses to the court, their Nothing at all.

"Commander, since we secretly left Beijing, we have been chasing the remnants to Shandong." Tian Ergen looked at Luo Sigong with a serious expression and said: "And it is doubtful that whether it is smuggling of the remnants orally, or It's just a hidden stake for building captives, but it stopped when they reached Yanzhou Mansion."

It seems that they want to cause chaos in Yanzhou.

Luo Sigong's hanging hands clenched tightly.

"And just today, their two forces met in Juye." Xu Xianchun followed closely and said: "This is also the reason why I came to see you. It is difficult for me to find out the information about their conversation, but before I came I also thought of the trackers along the canal transport bank of Yanzhou Prefecture..."

"Why didn't you come to this commander earlier!!"

At this time, Luo Sigong's expression changed, "They are trying to lure the snake out of its hole. If those trackers are incited by them, the remnants of the White Lotus dormant everywhere will follow and take advantage of the chaos!!"

"You humble waiters didn't know this before."

Tian Ergen explained: "Even if you are in a humble position..."

"Does this make sense now?"

Luo Sigong waved his hand and interrupted: "Now tell this commander everything you know one by one, and then rush it to the Tianjin Garrison Admiral's Office. In addition, send a copy to Shandong Governor Yuan Keli!!"

At this moment, deep in Luo Sigong's heart, a very terrible idea came to mind. If this idea was true, it was not something he could bear alone. Luo Sigong never expected that the line he had been tracing would actually turn out after focusing on Shandong. Such a big thunder would be hidden.

This is not something he can take alone. If it is not handled properly, if there is any trouble in Shandong and then affects Beizhili, the consequences will be unimaginable. Luo Sigong simply cannot imagine that such news will be known to the emperor in the future. What fury will break out! !

It's just that Luo Sigong never thought that there was a pair of eyes watching behind them. Even without their knowledge, some summarized intelligence from Beijing, Tianjin, Jinan and other places were being sent in a hurry...
