Xia Xun took the sea route, and Dai Yubin took the land route, but they were not as fast as Zhu Tu and the four king kong.

They traveled day and night and rushed back to Jinling as fast as possible. Such a group of strong men were exhausted from traveling day and night, not to mention Xu Zeheng who was severely tortured and dragged to Jinling by one of their carriages.But as long as the witness is alive, who will take him as a human being?

When Ji Gang saw Zhu Tu and the others, heard their reports, and heard the situation in Qingzhou and Putai clearly, he was startled and angry at once.

He had never seen Jin Yiwei come back without a trace, even lost his troops, and even officials of Yin Shenghui's level disappeared without a trace.And the strange things that happened on Putai's side made him even more vigilant secretly.Did the people from Jinyiwei South Town pass by by chance and unintentionally spoil his good deed?

How could it be such a coincidence that with the important criminals he wanted to arrest, all those who did not fall became the accomplices of Jiang Yang's robbers, and all of them were killed?

This is because Chen Yunan still thought that the two masked men who appeared suddenly when he captured Xu Zeheng's family were the White Lotus Sect. Otherwise, Ji Gang could have concluded that Liu Yujue had fully or partially detected his true intentions and tried to sabotage them. , and this meant that Xia Xun already knew his purpose.

Thinking of this, Ji Gang couldn't help being startled, and it would be fine to deal with Xia Xun secretly. Once this kind of semi-open confrontation is formed, under the accumulated power, why is he not afraid of Xia Xun?

Seeing that Ji Gang's face was cloudy after hearing what happened, and he didn't say a word for a long time, and Ji Younan, Zhong Canghai and others were also cowardly, Zhu Tu had no choice but to kneel down and plead guilty: "My lord, what a shameful thing to do. Ineffective, there was Qingzhou losing troops and losing generals, and later there was Putai who sat and watched important witnesses be dismissed, and only one Xu Zeheng was brought back. I have failed my lord's high expectations, my lord, please punish me!"

After hearing this, Ji Younan cursed inwardly: "Damn, if you plead guilty, please plead guilty, and bring a "wait" for you to be one of the Eight Great Vajras, so why can't you take care of my little brother?" Cursing in her heart, but also Had no choice but to kneel down.

Zhong Canghai and Gao Xiang even cursed in their hearts: "It's none of your business how I do things in Qingzhou? You ask for your crime, but you want to spare Lao Tzu, and you said that we lost our troops and lost our generals, but you brought back a witness , Is this an apology or a show of merit?" Cursing in their hearts, they couldn't tear their faces apart after all, and they both knelt down reluctantly.

Ji Gang glanced at Zhu Tu, his face darkened, and he said solemnly: "I, Ji Gang, don't rub sand in my eyes, don't play tricks in front of me!"

Zhu Tu paused, not daring to answer.

Ji Gang snorted coldly and said: "Over there in Qingzhou, it is my order. Before the real evidence is obtained, you must not let Duke Fu know of their existence. They are tied up and can't do anything. That's why they mess up the mission. Even if they lose troops, it's not their fault. them.

And you, I also specially instructed you to start as soon as possible, and use Potai as the key point to conquer the entire fortress of the opponent, but you hesitated and hesitated, so that you missed the big deal. Let's go into the water together, do you think I, Ji Gang, are easy to bully? "

Zhu Tu originally thought that since he had always been valued by Ji Gang and was one of the Eight Great King Kongs, even if Ji Gang was angry, he would not be too harsh on himself. Unexpectedly, Ji Gang's words became more and more severe. Originally, Zhu Tu, who was just pretending to be afraid, It was really cold and sweaty once.

He kowtowed heavily, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm guilty of a lowly position!"

Ji Gang slapped the table and shouted: "If the major event is not accomplished, the general will be defeated. Can you just confess your crime?" Zhu Tu was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly said: "My lord, we still have Xu Zeheng here. Hand! He is an important figure in the White Lotus Sect, and with his testimony and confession, it should... be used as strong evidence if he is interviewed?"

Ji Gang got even angrier when he heard this, and snorted angrily: "Don't you look at who we are dealing with! Some people don't need evidence, you can treat them like a soft persimmon, rub them over and over, and some people, unless The iron case is like a mountain, otherwise..." When he said this, his heart suddenly moved, and he stopped talking.

Zhu Tu lay there waiting for a long while without any movement, raised his head slightly and glanced upwards, and saw Ji Gang holding his chin in thought for a moment, then gently waved his hands and said, "Everyone go down, Zhu Tu stay!" "Yes, my lord! "

The three of Zhong Canghai and the others felt amnesty, kowtowed quickly, and retreated with lowered eyebrows.After they all went out and the door was closed, Ji Gang got up from the case, stepped forward quickly, and helped Zhu Tu up with his own hands.

Zhu Tu was startled by Ji Gang's preferential treatment and stood there blankly. Ji Gang pushed him to the chair with a smile on his face: "Sit down, Zhu Tu, don't blame me for not giving you face, you are one of the eight King Kongs under my seat." , is my most valued subordinate, and now you have done this thing like this, if I am too lenient to you, how can I discipline other people in the future?" Zhu Tu was moved to tears, and quickly got up and said: "My lord, I was single-handedly picked up by you, and I serve you loyally! This time, I am indeed incompetent, and ruined my plan. I am willing to accept any punishment from my lord. My lord, you have treated me as a mountain. Go through fire and water for an adult, even a lowly job will not frown!" Ji Gang smiled and said: "You are my right-hand man, I am not willing to ask you to go through fire and water, hehehe, you don't have to do it, but there is one thing that is not difficult Things, after much deliberation, it's better for you to come forward!"

Zhu Tu immediately said: "My lord, please tell me, Zhu Tusheng is your lord's man, and death is your lord's ghost, and he is willing to do the work of your dog and horse for your lord!" Ji Gang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Although there are many people missing now For physical evidence, fortunately you still have Xu Zeheng in your hands, this person can be regarded as a strong evidence, how the White Lotus Sect has a relationship with Fu Guogong, it is up to you to report to the emperor!"

In the hall, Zhu Tu was kneeling, Ji Gang was standing, and Zhu Di was sitting.

Zhu Di asked in amazement: "Have you caught the demon from the White Lotus Sect?"

Ji Gangdao: "I am ordered by the emperor to investigate the rebellion in the world, and I have some eyes and ears in the local area.

This matter was discovered by a household named Chen Yunan, Zhu Tu, tell me! "

Zhu Tu hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the old grandpa of Pengjiazhuang in Qingzhou passed away, and there was a huge crowd of condolences from all sides. Chen Yunan, a householder in Jinyiwei, became alert and pretended to be a mourner to sneak into Pengjiazhuang. He noticed that many mourners acted suspiciously, so he paid attention to them. He found out by accident..." Zhu Tu carefully told the little dolls about things like "Patriarch" turning into lotus flowers and golden Buddhas in the corner of the courtyard. After repeating it, he said again: "Chen Yunan felt that this little girl was very suspicious, and she might be an evildoer of the White Lotus Sect, so he sent a letter to Wei Chen, and when Wei Chen heard about it, he didn't dare to neglect, so he rushed to Shandong immediately. Pursue the case.

We chased all the way to Putai County, because it was only a small county, and foreigners had been there for a long time, and it was very eye-catching, so we resorted to extraordinary means, abducted a man who went to Qingzhou with the girl to pay condolences, and interrogated them. Afterwards, this person confides the truth, they are indeed remnants of the White Lotus Sect, who have been hiding in Putai County, Shandong Province for a long time. "

Ji Gang laughed and said: "After listening to what Zhu Tu said, the emperor thought that this matter was extremely absurd. How can I, the Duke of Ming, have anything to do with the White Lotus Sect? But this is a big matter. Zhu Qianhu has witnesses and confessions. If you don't dare to hide and report him, bring him here, and respectfully ask the Holy Majesty to judge!"

Zhu Di asked in a daze: "What? Why did you talk about the duke? Which country has anything to do with this?" Ji Gang was stunned when he heard this, and said in a stuttering manner: "Your Majesty, isn't the Duke of Fu just returning to Qingzhou, Shandong? Going to a funeral..."

Zhu Di suddenly realized: "Oh! By the way, I said why this Pengjiazhuang is so familiar..." Huh?You mean...? ,, Ji Gang smiled wryly and said: "Yes, this Pengjiazhuang is the home of Fu Guogong's father-in-law. Those Bailian sect bandits went to Pengjiazhuang to mourn Mrs. Peng. Otherwise, why would I think this matter is too difficult? "Zhu Di's expression changed immediately, and Ji Gang looked helpless, standing there without speaking, just staring at Zhu Di.

Zhu Tu, who was kneeling beside him, had a very bitter expression.He really doesn't want to be this early bird!As soon as Ji Gang's idea came out, he tensed up, but he knew that Ji Gang was setting aside a retreat, just in case, to ensure that Ji Gang could advance and retreat freely, but there was nothing he could do.If he doesn't agree, he will be unlucky immediately, but if he agrees, he still has a chance to make a fortune. He has no choice, this is the sadness of being a pawn.

Seeing that Zhu Di's face was cloudy, Ji Gang didn't say a word for a long time, and bowed again: "If the people from Jinyi South Town were not going to Zhigu, and I didn't know that the North Town was on errands, so I started to scare the snake, I should be able to catch more at this moment. Personal and material evidence, I also feel that this evidence is not very sufficient. The minister of Fuguo is an extremely personable minister and has always been loyal to the emperor. Don't dare to be careless!"

Ji Gang didn't mention that Jinyiwei Nanzhen might be deliberately serving as a cover for the auxiliary Duke Yang Xu, so there's no need to mention it!

As long as Yang Xu is down, it will be easy for him to deal with Liu Yujue. Right now, too many people and things are involved, which is not conducive to his attack. He is now concentrating all his strength and focusing on one point.

Besides, Ji Gang is a very proud person, and he is unwilling to let the emperor know that the Jinyiwei under his control is not monolithic.He is not willing to trouble the emperor for those who can be cured by himself.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Di hesitated and said: "Even if Lin Yuqi and others are Bailian sect bandits, it can't prove that they went to Pengjiazhuang to express condolences. The Peng family must also be Bailian sect?" Zhu Tu immediately said: "Your Majesty, then Xu Zeheng has already confessed that when Lin Yuqi took them to Qingzhou to mourn, he said that he was going to mourn a senior of his family!"

A haze flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and he stopped and said: "Keep Xu Zeheng's confession, you stand down!" He then ordered in a low voice to Mu En who was standing by the door: "Decree to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, call Chen Ying Supervise the case comparison!" Today I went to practice driving, and it was the first time I practiced on the outside road.
