Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 220 Lead the snake out of the hole
When Jia Qiong heard that Wang Gui's original name was Wang Guangyang, he couldn't help but wonder if he was the famous official Wang Guangyang in history.

In terms of age, they are almost the same, but in history, Wang Guangyang passed the Jinshi examination in the Yuan Dynasty, and the status gap between him and the White Lotus cultist in front of him is a bit too big.

He stretched out his hand to help Wang Guangyang up and said, "You and I are not masters and servants, so we don't need to perform this great ceremony.

Where is Guangyang’s ancestral home?Is there a word for it? "

Wang Guangyang said: "Sir, my name is Chaozong and my ancestral home is Gaoyou.

My ancestors came to Luoyang from Gaoyou to make a living when the capital was moved. "

Jia Qiong was overjoyed when he heard this. This time they really matched up. Their ancestral home and first name were the same as Wang Guangyang, a famous official in history. It seemed that they were probably the same person.

However, this Wang Guangyang is obviously very different from his original historical experience, so it can be said that these are two completely different people.

Jia Qiong did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Chaozong, the emperor attaches great importance to what you said in your letter, and specially ordered me to come and investigate.

Tell us about the situation of the White Lotus Sect, the more detailed the better. "

Wang Guangyang did not refuse, sat opposite Jia Qiong and said: "When I was wandering near Xinzheng three years ago, I met Sun Zhi of the White Lotus Sect preaching in the countryside.

I was penniless at the time and had no way to take revenge, so I simply joined the White Lotus Sect, thinking that one day I might find an opportunity to take revenge.

Because I was strong and able to read and write, Sun Zhi took a fancy to me and kept him by his side.

Sun Zhi is a missionary under Yin Guohong, the master of Puji Hall of White Lotus Sect.

Yin Guohong's name in the White Lotus Sect is Venerable Puji, his status is second only to the Saint and the Protector, and he is the general person in charge of the White Lotus Sect in Henan Province.

After following Sun Zhi for a while, I was recommended to Yin Guohong by Sun Zhi because of my outstanding performance.

Three months ago, I was accepted as the eighth disciple by Yin Guohong. Only then could I be exposed to some core information of the White Lotus Sect.

As far as I know, the White Lotus Sect is basically distributed in all provinces, but the south is rich and there are very few people willing to join the religion, so they mainly operate in the north.

The nominal leader of the White Lotus Sect is the Saint, followed by the four guardians, and below that are the heads of each hall.

The leader of the hall is the general person in charge of a province. He has great power and only obeys the orders of the saint.

The leader of the hall in Henan Province is Yin Guohong, the Venerable Puji. He usually hides in the Puji Courtyard in Laojun Mountain. "

When Jia Qiong heard this, he interrupted him and asked: "So, Laojunshan Puji Temple is the main hall of the White Lotus Sect in Henan Province?"

Wang Guangyang nodded and said: "That's right, but only a few people in the White Lotus Sect know about Puji Yuan, and the monks there basically don't know Yin Guohong's true identity."

Jia Qiong nodded and said, "Okay, keep talking."

“Yin Guohong has eight disciples under his command, who are also his closest subordinates.

The first six were assigned to serve as missionaries in various places, specifically responsible for developing believers and attracting people to join the religion.

During this time of locust plague, the main altar ordered all churches to vigorously develop believers and wait for the right time to join forces to take action.

However, Henan is close to Guanzhong, and most of the young and strong people have been taken away by adults.

The government could also provide relief to the remaining victims, so progress in Henan was slow, which made Yin Guohong very angry.

So a few days ago, someone proposed to Yin Guohong a strategy for seizing grain ships.

Because I am a native of Luoyang, Yin Guohong sent me to inquire about the fleet, and wanted to see if there was any chance to take action. "

Jia Qiong asked: "How many members of the White Lotus Sect are there in Henan now?"

Wang Guangyang replied: "There are currently less than 1000 members of the Bailian sect in Henan Province, and the number of ordinary believers is estimated to be 8000-[-]."

Jia Qiong asked again: "How much do you know about the saints of the White Lotus Sect? Do you know the location of the main altar?" Wang Guangyang shook his head and said: "I don't know about this at all, and Yin Guohong never mentioned it.

If you want to know the saint's condition, you may have to pry open his mouth. "

"How much do you know about the situation of the White Lotus Sect in other provinces?"

"Because the churches are not under each other's control, we rarely have contact with other provinces, and my knowledge of the situation in other provinces is very limited."

"How do your hall leaders contact the main altar?"

"Branches rarely take the initiative to contact the main altar. Usually the main altar sends envoys to each branch to issue orders."

Jia Qiong couldn't help but frown. Judging from the current situation, with Wang Guangyang as an insider, it would not be a big problem to solve the White Lotus Sect in Henan.

But it is not that easy to follow the clues and eliminate the White Lotus Sect in all provinces.

Wang Guangyang saw Jia Qiong's distress and asked: "Sir, do you want to uproot the entire White Lotus Sect?"

Jia Qiong nodded and said: "Of course, if we only eliminate the White Lotus Sect in Henan Province, the effect will be limited after all.

In your opinion, if Yin Guohong is arrested, is it possible for him to confess information about the White Lotus Sect's main altar and the saint? "

Wang Guangyang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Yin Guohong firmly believes in the idea of ​​a vacuum hometown and no biological parents."

Jia Qiong fell into deep thought, and Feng Ziying said: "Brother Wang, as the leader of a provincial hall, Yin Guohong should always contact the main altar if there is anything urgent.

He will definitely send someone close to him to deliver the message. Who is this person? Does Brother Wang know? "

Wang Guangyang thought for a while and said: "There should be such a person, but I can't think of who it is. I'm afraid none of Yin Guohong's other seven disciples are."

Liu Xianglian said: "Sir, I think we should simply destroy Pujiyuan and shock the tigers. Maybe the White Lotus Sect itself will show its flaws."

Jia Qiong shook his head and said: "This is ultimately a matter of luck. The variables are too high and you cannot take this path until there is no other way to go."

He then asked Wang Guangyang: "Your letter said that the White Lotus Sect is secretly supported by forces in the DPRK and China. How did you know this?"

"Sir, this is what Yin Guohong said personally, and the White Lotus Sect has indeed obtained a lot of secret information from the court.

But I don’t know which force is secretly supporting the White Lotus Sect. "

Jia Qiong nodded when he heard this: "It seems that we still have to find the main altar of the White Lotus Sect, but how to find it."

At this time Wang Guangyang said: "Sir, I have a plan. Maybe Yin Guohong can take the initiative to contact the general forum."

Jia Qiong was surprised and said: "Oh, what is Chaozong's clever plan? Tell me quickly."

Wang Guangyang said: "Returning to your lord, Yin Guohong is now working on the idea of ​​transporting grain ships.

We can give him false information and make him want to take action, but he can't do it himself.

For example, I told him that the officers and soldiers in Henan were heavily guarded and we had no chance.

However, in Henan, the area at the junction of Jizhou and Jizhou was lightly guarded, making it easier to succeed.

If you want to accomplish this, it's best to join forces with the brothers in Jizhou.

If Yin Guohong wants to do this kind of big action, he must contact the headquarters, so that we can have a chance. "

Hearing this, Jia Qiong laughed and said: "Hahaha, Chaozong's plan to lure the snake out of the hole is very clever!

Come, let's discuss it carefully, perfect this plan as much as possible, and strive to wipe out the White Lotus Sect in one fell swoop. "
