When Lu Zhen heard the report and arrived an hour later, the battle in the Xinyue Nunnery had already ended, and all those White Lotus Sect disciples fell to the ground, and the Jinyi Guards also paid a lot of price for it. Not only were all the people who were poisoned before, but five of the people who came to support were killed in battle, and more than a dozen people were killed.

After being discovered by the Jinyi Guard, these White Lotus Sectists had the consciousness of death, so in the subsequent battles, they all fought to the death, even though they were inferior in numbers, but they also relied on fierce and lifeless fighting methods to pull many personal backs. What is even more frightening is that after a battle, not even a single living mouth was left.

Seeing Lu Jin's arrival, Yao Gan hung his head and greeted him, full of guilt and self-blame: "My lord, it was a moment of carelessness in his duties, and he actually fell into the way of these thieves first, so that many brothers died at the hands of these thieves, and I ask my lord to punish him." As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down and confess his sin.

Lu Jin's face was also a little ugly, he originally thought that this encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect should be a matter of being captured, but he didn't want to make such a result, it was too much for him to expect. But even so, he still hurriedly held the other party, and at the same time looked at his left arm hanging by his side with concern: "You are also injured?" Is it serious? ”

"Thank you, sir, for your concern, it's just that the old nun broke her arm, and you should be able to pick it up." Yao Gan replied with some emotion, and at this time, the governor of his own family was still more concerned about the injuries of himself and others: "Compared to the injuries of my brothers, my injuries are nothing at all. ”

"Tell me that my wounded brother should be treated well, and that the best doctor in the city should be called. As for those who died in battle, they will be given generous compensation, and their families must not be treated badly. After Lu Jin's gaze swept over the corpses on the ground, he said to his subordinates on the side with a heavy expression.

After the other party received the order, he looked at Yao Gan and said, "If you really want to talk about it, my responsibility for this defeat is the heaviest." It was because I didn't remind you to pay more attention early in the morning to let these thieves take advantage of it, so you don't have to blame yourself too much, just learn a lesson. You did your best, and you're seriously injured...... By the way, how did you fall for their calculations? ”

Yao Gan heard this question, and regretted it again in his heart: "Lord Hui, because I haven't been able to determine that this Xinyue Nunnery is the thief's nest of the White Lotus Sect, I only brought a few brothers into it in the name of Jinxiang. As a result, I didn't see anything wrong at first, and I put incense in this Guanyin Temple, and I didn't want the other party to do anything in it......"

It turned out that as early as after they entered the Xinyue Nunnery, the Jingyue had already begun to calculate, so that they would give them the incense sticks mixed with soft tendons to light them from the reason for offering incense to Guanyin Master. Although the soft tendon powder in this incense is not too large, after letting them inhale a lot, it still plays an extremely crucial role, which greatly reduces everyone's combat effectiveness.

Of course, this is also the truth that Yao Gan asked people to search carefully in it after annihilating the enemy and finding the incense stick with added ingredients. From this point of view, these people from the White Lotus Sect have long been on guard, as long as the people in the official mansion are a little lax, they may fall for their tricks.

After hearing this, Lu Zhen sighed again: "It's also my fault, because I didn't let you let go of your hands and feet because of some concerns." If they had come directly to the door and not be tempted, these brothers would not have died in vain at the hands of thieves. ”

Seeing Lu Zhen say this, Yao Gan felt more and more ashamed in his heart, and could only quickly change the topic: "My lord, I actually made another more serious mistake in my humble position. ”

"But what?" Sure enough, Lu Zhen was distracted when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"We still fell for the thief's plan to attack the west, and let a few important people hiding inside slip away." Yao Gan said, and led Lu Zhen to the side and back of the Guanyin Courtyard, where there was a secret door: "At that time, the lowly rank was being fought by those White Lotus Sect traitors who suddenly killed from behind the wall, but there were still people hiding in it, and they quietly escaped from here. And the brothers who should have been arranged outside received a signal to come to the rescue, so they let them take the opportunity to get out, but they didn't even know what the identity of the other party was. ”

When Lu Zhen heard this, his face became more and more solemn: "Is there such a thing?" If you can let more than a dozen masters in the White Lotus Sect drag you to create a chance for the people here to escape at the expense of their own lives and deaths, it seems that the identity of this escaped person must be very high. ”

"My lord, this is also caused by the negligence of my duties, and I ask you to punish him." Yao Gan once again confessed his sin.

Lu Zhen glanced at him: "You are indeed too careless, but now is the time to employ people, this official will not punish you for the time being, I just hope that you can quickly heal your injuries and make meritorious contributions." Find out about the case at sea as soon as possible, and then think about finding out the White Lotus Sect traitors hiding here. He could see that the other party was indeed guilty, so he asked him for guilt several times, so he said this, which can be regarded as admitting the other party's fault.

Only then did Yao Gan respond in a low voice: "I am humbled and ordered, thank you for your forbearance, I will definitely heal my injuries as soon as possible, and find those thieves to avenge my dead brother." ”

"Well, I believe in your skills." Lu Zhen nodded as if encouragingly, and slapped his hand on his uninjured right shoulder: "Okay, what you have to do now is to heal the injury as soon as possible, otherwise I will be missing a hand." ”

"Yes!" Lu Zhen has said it to this point, and Yao Gan no longer dwells on the past, and immediately agreed.

Then, after Lu Jin's eyes swept around the inconspicuous little nunnery, he exhaled a turbid breath and said, "Although we didn't do our best this time, we finally solved the key mystery. The things that have been making trouble at sea since last year are indeed very related to the resurgence of the White Lotus Sect's rebels. Pass on my order, and this will make people close the net and take down all the women who ventilated and reported the thieves! ”

No matter how deep the relationship between these women and the local officials is, since they are members of the White Lotus Sect, they must be taken down mercilessly, and then interrogated properly.

With this order, many local officials' families suffered. At dusk, a group of brocade guards suddenly broke into his house with an order, ignoring the reproaches and obstructions of these officials, and directly took the frightened people around him and begged for mercy with chains and took them out.

The prestige of Jinyiwei is indeed strong enough, even though these officials are extremely dissatisfied and annoyed, no one dares to stop them, and can only watch their women being dragged away. Moreover, these officials then thought about the reason with some trepidation, speculating about where their wife offended Jinyiwei and was subjected to such treatment.

It's just that for most officials, this question is unanswered. As the head of the family, they can't watch their women being taken away and ignore them, so after some ideological struggle, these officials went out one after another and rushed to the local Jinyi Wei Qianhu to ask for an explanation.

By the time it was completely dark, twenty or thirty officials had gathered in front of the Thousand Households, either worried or angry. And when they communicated with each other and learned that many of them were the same as themselves, they felt more and more nervous, and it seemed that this matter was not simple.

Soon after, the prefect Xiao Wentong and the city boss Ti Tao Yong also came one after another, and the faces of these two officials were much more gloomy than the others, and their eyes were full of fear.

As soon as they saw that the two highest-ranking adults in the city had arrived here, the officials who had been turned away after that suddenly felt that they had a backbone, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Are the two adults here because the Jinyi guard trespassed into the back house and took away the people around them?" ”

When the two of them heard this question, they both hesitated for a moment before Governor Xiao said: "The person was taken down by the official himself and handed over to Jinyiwei." ”

"Huh? My lord, what happened here, why did the Jinyi Guard suddenly attack me and the rest of the house? The people became more and more puzzled, and they hurriedly inquired about it.

Just when the prefect didn't know whether to answer or not, the Jinyi Wei Baihu, who had blocked everyone's way before, came out and said, "Everyone, just come in and talk." ”

Seeing that Jinyiwei was finally willing to deal with the questions of himself and others head-on, the officials didn't care about pestering Xiao Wentong to ask for the reason, and hugged the two high-ranking officials in the scarlet robe and walked inside. And when they came to the main hall, they were surprised to find that Lu Jin, the big leader of the Jinyi Guard, was also present, which made their momentum even more discouraged, and the anger on their faces was also retracted, and they didn't dare to speak again when they were planning to ask in their hearts.

If it is an ordinary Jinyi Wei Qianhu, these officials may not dare to provoke, but they don't have much concern, after all, now that the power of civil officials is gradually increasing, it is impossible for Jinyiwei to be as lawless as before. But with Lu Zhen in charge, the situation is different, his identity is here, let alone an official in Suzhou City, even in the capital, there are very few officials who dare to be enemies with him.

After seeing everyone enter, Lu Jin's face showed a slight smile, and he pointed to the two rows of chairs below and said, "Adults, sit down and talk first." So saying, he stepped over to the top and sat down.

Everyone looked at each other a few times, and finally followed his instructions and sat down according to the order of official rank. Then, someone looked hesitantly ahead, wanting to say something but not daring.

Lu Zhen naturally understood their thoughts, so he said: "I can't hide it, today I suddenly disturbed all the adults and disturbed your back house, and this matter is the decision made by this official and the order issued!" ”
